Right click interface

To display the right click interface, open a chart, and right click once on a blank area of the chart. 
You will see the following:



There are 5 groups displayed by default:

•    Properties
•    Actions
•    New Items
•    Delete
•    Apply Tools

The right click interface will replace the New Items group with the Control points group when a tool is selected.

As you hover over one of the groups listed above, additional options / actions become available.

Properties Group



The properties group is a context sensitive window that will display the properties of the item you right click on.  Properties range from colours, bar counts, transparency settings, etc.  These properties can also be seen in the Control Panel displayed on the left hand side of the screen.  Using the right click menu however allows you to have all the panels rolled away, allowing the chart to display over even more space.  To watch a video of the right click Properties group in use please click here.

Actions Group



The actions group is a context sensitive window that will display the actions of the item you right click on.  Actions range from un-docking a chart to printing options, etc.  These actions can also be seen on the Control Panel displayed on the left hand side of the screen.  Using the right click menu however allows you to have all the panels rolled away, allowing the chart to display over even more space.  To watch a video of the right click Actions group in use please click here.

New Items



The New Item group is displayed when right clicking on a blank area of the chart.  From this window you can open a New chart, Add a chart to a second window, Overlay 2 charts on a single page or merge 2 or more charts.

Delete



Allows you to delete the item you right clicked on.  Tip (You can click on the Delete icon itself rather than selecting the item from the Delete Item list.

Tools



The tools group is broken up into 2 sections.  The top section allows you to search for any tool available in the program.  As you type a short list of tools matching your criteria is displayed.   The second section displays the most recently used tools which you can click on to re-apply to your chart.  To watch a video of the right click tools group in action click here.

Control Points



Control Points are displayed when you right click on a tool.  Control points allow you to manually select a starting point (both price and date) and an end point.  This can be a great time saver when applying tools to a chart where you already know the desired end date, etc.  To watch a video of the right click control group in action click here.
