Range
Scale
iIndexed (start = 100) rebases each selected model to 100 at the left edge of the window, so you compare percentage trends, not dollars. A value of 110 means 10 percent above that model's window-start price; 95 means 5 percent below. It lets a cheap box and an expensive box be compared on the same trend scale. Use Absolute $ to read actual list prices and dollar gaps.
