Zoom



The zoom function allows the user to expand a specific area on the chart by highlighting the area.



To expand the specific area on the chart, press the 'Zoom' button and draw a box on the area you wish to enlarge. To draw a box, just click once on the chart for the top-left point and then drag for the desired area. Once the area has been selected, press the 'Zoom' button once more.

Zoom-in/Zoom-out



The Zoom-in/Zoom-out buttons are located on bottom right corner of the chart panel. The first two buttons are zoom functions to perform on the chart. The left button zooms out, while the right button zooms in.

To adjust the bar interval for Zoom-in/Zoom-out, simply select the 'Parameters' button from the tool bar of the chart and the 'Preference' window will pop up. Enter the interval values you desire under 'Zoom' and press 'Apply'. (Value 1 = the number of bars the chart should zoom-in/zoom-out each time when pressing these two buttons; Value 2 = the number of bars the chart displays each time when changing the chart.)



The last two buttons are to shift the chart either left or right. The left button shifts the chart left and back in time, while the right button shifts right and forward in time.

To adjust the bar interval for Shift left/Shift right, simply select the 'Parameters' button from the tool bar of the chart. The 'Preference' window will then pop up. Enter the interval values you desire under 'Shift' and press 'Apply'. (Value 1 = the number of bars the chart shifts each time when pressing these two buttons.)
