1.4.2. Rotate or Cycle

A multi-cell range can be used to create a rotating or cycling series of updates through the range. The range must be either a single row or a single column, and it must be bound to a point with a single vaue.

For example, using the DataSim program, you can bind a vertical range to the DataSim:Ramp point. As the point values increase, the latest values appear at the bottom of the column, and each older value is pushed up one cell. You can check the Fill Style's Reverse box to change directions, and have the latest values appear at the top.

The Fill Style options let you specify Vertical or Horizontal directions for columns or rows, respectively. Also, you can choose between Rotate and Cycle. The Cycle option cycles the latest value through the different positions in the range, creating a wave of updates. Again, checking the Reverse box changes the direction.
