Overview
Multichart is a tool that allows you to use predefined layouts. The layouts divide a workspace to fit several charts on one screen at the same time. Each chart can display data for a specific instrument, aggregation period, chart type; can have a unique customized appearance, and so on.
The chart elements and data for each chart in a multichart can be synchronized across all the charts in the layout. This means that changes made to any chart in a multichart mode are applied to all charts. You can choose exactly which elements and data to synchronize across all charts by selecting the appropriate items in the Multichart > Synchronize column.
To use Multichart mode, click theicon on the Toolbar at the top center of the charts. Then, click on one of the available layouts.
There are currently 7 chart layouts available:
- single chart (default)
- 4-charts layout
- horizontal 2-charts layout
- vertical 2-charts layout
- horizontal 3-charts layout
- vertical 3-charts layout
- 8-chart layout
