+==== Overview ====
+The Indicator graphic is a More Layout status display graphic used to show a value in a two-part display.
+The lower part of the Indicator displays the input value. Numeric input is displayed as an integer, and non-numeric input is displayed as text.
+The upper part of the Indicator displays two lines of static text.
+Indicator is useful when an application needs to show a value with a labeled status area above it.
