The Waffle Module depicts up to two data series as segmented stacked bars ("waffles").

The option Display Values Labels toggles the display of the underlying values.

With Display Category Labels, category labels can be toggled on or off.

Number of Elements This options governs the number of lines of data that are used to generate waffle bars.

The entry in Start Element governs the first element in the input data to be displayed. If e. g. a 5 is entered, the first bar is generated from the fifth line of data, lines 1 to 4 are left out.

Suppress sums excludes sums from the data to be displayed.

The option Axis Alignment governs whether the bars are aligned with the left component border ("Leftbound"). If "Center" is chosen, the 0-axis is located in the center; in this case, the bars will be drawn from the center to the left and to the right.

With the option Calculation Base, the interpretation of the input data as either absolute or percentual is determined.

The value Units per Box is only used if "Absolute" is chosen as Calculation Base. It is used as calculation basis for a single box in the waffle pattern. If e. g. a value of 4500 is to be depicted, and 100 is specified as Units per Box, the bar will contain 45 little squares; an input of 1000 results in 4.5 squares.

The value in Percent per Box is applied if "Percentage" is chosen as Calculation Base. In this case, the sum of both data series for each pair of bars is interpreted as 100%; an input of 1 results in 100 boxes for both series, an input of 5 results in 20 boxes for both series.
