Adjust your chart group

To access functions of a chart croup use one of the following methods:

  1. Right-click in the charting area to bring up the chart context menu, then select Settings followed by the Chart Group menu item.

Similar options are available for single chart group (SCG), list chart group (LCG), and tab chart group (TCG):

Add a chart

Select Settings -> Chart Group -> Add chart from the context menu or Add Chart from the toolbar to add a chart inside the container.

The new chart will have the same time frame as the one applied to the container. You can change the time frame manually using the toolbar.

Delete a chart

Select Settings -> Chart Group -> Delete chart from the context menu or Delete Chart from the toolbar to delete a chart from the container.

When you move the cursor over one of the chart names, both the text and the action bar of the corresponding chart will be highlighted in red (see image below). Once you confirm the selection by left-clicking, the chart will be removed.

Set container style

The option "Set Container Style" allows you to display charts differently. Select Settings -> Chart Group -> Set Container Style from the context menu or use the toolbar to rearrange charts by selecting one of the following styles:

  • horizontal

  • vertical

  • right (1 larger chart on the left side and 2 small charts on the right)

  • left (1 larger chart on the right side and 2 small charts on the left)

Select Settings -> Chart Group -> Print Chart Group or Print Chart Group List from the context menu or use the toolbar to print the whole tab chart group (TCG) or list chart group (LCG):

Create a template

Select Settings -> Chart Group -> Template -> Save (Save as...) from the context menu or use the toolbar to save your favorite templates for a single chart group (SCG), tab chart group (TCG) or list chart group (LCG). You can customize various chart properties and save them as a chart template.
