Several types of charts can be created. Chart style can be customized for each type of a chart.
 
The following types of charts are available:
 
[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02031_FCh_ChStyle_OHLC.html name=""; |OHLC Bar Chart]]
<br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02032_FCh_ChStyle_HLC.html name=""; |HLC Bar Chart]]
<br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02033_FCh_ChStyle_CdlSticks.html name=""; |Candlestick Chart]]
<br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02034_FCh_ChStyle_DOC.html name=""; |Dot On Close Chart]]
<br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02035_FCh_ChStyle_LOC.html name=""; |Line On Close Chart]]
<br>[[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02036_FCh_ChStyle_InvisBars.html name=""; |Invisible Chart]]
 
Each chart type offers an alternative visual representation that has its own advantages.
 
The type and style of a chart are set in the '''Style''' tab of the '''Format Symbol''' window.
 
Chart Type is selected in the '''Chart Type''' section, and Chart Style settings can be customized in the '''Chart Style''' section.
 
Changes to Chart Type and Chart Style settings will be applied to the Chart Window in real time.

== Last Price Marker ==
 
'''Last Price Marker''' is a special label displayed on the price scale that indicates the latest price value of the data series.
 
If multiple data series are plotted in different subcharts within the same chart window, then the marker is displayed for
each data series.
 
However, if multiple data series are plotted in the same subchart, then the marker is displayed only for the series that was added first ([[<span style="color: red;">'''LINK'''</span> /22-02027_FCh_SymSet_DNum.html name=""; |Data #1]]).
 
To turn off/on Last Price Marker for a data series:
 
# Open the '''Format Symbol''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span>
# Select the '''Style''' tab.
# Under the '''Advanced''' group box, check or uncheck the '''Last Price Marker''' checkbox.
 
<br>
== Changing Bar Weight ==
 
Chart's bars' '''Weight''' can be changed by clicking
'''Increase Weight''' http://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/toolbar/29_Thick.png or '''Decrease Weight''' http://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/toolbar/30_Thin.png icons
on the '''Control''' toolbar, or by selecting '''Format''' in the main menu and clicking '''Increase Weight''' or '''Decrease Weight'''.
