# Color by Value

Sometimes it is useful for the color of the indicators to show if the value is negative or positive, the parameter `color_by_value` handles that automatically.

The following example shows how to use it:

```python
s.plt.indicator(
    data=[{
        'align': 'center',
        'title': 'Positive case',
        'value': 10,
    }, {
        'align': 'center',
        'title': 'Negative case',
        'value': -10,
    }, {
        'align': 'center',
        'title': 'Neutral case',
        'value': 0,
    }],
    order=0,
    color_by_value=True
)
```
