Mini,MaxiThese two value are only necessary when the data source is a user supplied. They must be set to pre-determined minimum and maximum values of the fields.
FormatFormat the number at end of graph according to the MagicCell formats.
MinMaxSQLSQL returning first field as Min and second field as Max. If MinMaxSQL="Auto" then ASP-db will scan the entire recordset for min/max. PageSize must be set to -1 (entire recordset) in order to be meaningful. When 'Auto' is used, SELECT * FROM Table is used with no filtering. Be careful when use this default as it is convinent but not efficient. Always try to use assign a valid Min/Max SQL with filtering like ->

SELECT min(minfield), Max(maxfield) FROM Table where KeyField = Criteria

Remarks

Column data can be automatically normalized or a Min/Max scale be specified.
