Well, I figured it out one way, but I can't do
it the other, meaning set the slider x on the
bar based on where we are in the total.
tot = 12000
range = 220.0
x = 2
xper = x/range
a = tot * xper
put a
-- 109.0909
How do I determine x based on a?
a = tot * (x/range)
a*range = tot * x
x = a*range / tot
right?
Looks right to me.
Hmm...
