[amibroker] Barcount vs BarIndex()

Sheesh,
You'd think I'd have this figured out, as many times as I've 
used BarCount but...
 
BarIndex() doesn't appear to have any relation to 
Barcount.
 
I have 5988 bars loaded and view 255 at a time, so 
plot(BarIndex()) shows 5986 but plot(Barcount) shows 410?
Where does the 410 come from?
 
Description for BarCount in the AFL Reference Manual 
is:
 
"BarCount constant gives the 
number of bars in array (such as Close, High, Low, Open, Volume, etc). Array 
elements are numbered from 0 (zero) to BarCount-1. 
"
 
Doesn't the 'array' extend from the first bar to the last 
bar?

The description for BarIndex() is:
"returns zero-based bar number - the same as 
Cum(1)-1 but it is much faster than Cum(1) when used in 
Indicators"
<FONT 
color=#0000ff> 
Here's where I derailed:
 
" LineArray( x0, y0, x1, y1, extend = 0 
)
 
generates array equivalent to trend line 
drawn from point x0, y0 to point x1, y1. x coordinates are 
in bars (zero based)..."
 
So naturally, I tried:
y0=LastValue<FONT 
size=2>(Trough<FONT 
size=2>(L<FONT 
size=2>,4<FONT 
size=2>,2));
y1=LastValue<FONT 
size=2>(Trough<FONT 
size=2>(L<FONT 
size=2>,4<FONT 
size=2>,1));
x0=BarIndex<FONT 
size=2>()-50<FONT 
size=2>;
x1=BarIndex<FONT 
size=2>()-10;
Line = LineArray<FONT 
size=2>( x0, y0, x1, y1, 0 
);

LineArray didn't like that.
Could someone please expand on the differences and 
similarities of BarCount and BarIndex()?
How did BarCount arrive at 
410?
Thanks,Corey Saxe
