The Comparative Measure should be visually less dominant as compared to the featured measure, but easy to see in relation to the featured measure. It is encoded as a short line that runs perpendicular to the BulletGraph's. Whenever the featured measure intersects a comparative measure, the comparative measure should usually appear behind the featured measure.

The formatting defaults associated with Comparative Measure are:

• Position: It is centered in the plot area and aligned with its value along the quantitative scale.
• Color and Stroke: 100% black with a stroke that is clearly visible but not as dominant as the featured measure. If you want to include a second comparative measure, then it should be 75% black.
