This is to make the base value available to the graphics backend
(JHandles override __bars__.m); in the end, the barseries object has
a BaseValue property, so you need to know it. As the front-end
__bar__.m already parsed varargin and extracted the base value,
I found it more efficient to pass it as additional argument to the
backend than let the backend it find it again in varargin. This is not
mandatory.

OK.
