When additional objects are inserted into a Chat Window, the window is divided horizontally into '''SubCharts'''. A single window can contain up to 20 SubCharts.
SubCharts allow several data series or other objects to be synchronized and viewed alongside each other. <br>Each SubChart is assigned a sequential number according to its position in a Chart Window, starting from the top. A chart that is the only chart in the Chart Window is SubChart number 1.
SubCharts can be '''Resized''', '''Maximized''', and '''Hidden'''. Each SubChart can contain a number of charts or studies, and objects can be moved from one SubChart to another.
<br>

To Resize SubCharts, position the mouse pointer over the border line between two SubCharts; once the pointer changes
into a '''Splitter''' http://www.multicharts.com/img/wiki/cursors/Subgraph_Resize.gif, hold
the left mouse button and drag the border to the desired position.
<br>
== Maximizing and Restoring SubCharts ==
A SubChart can be maximized to fill the entire Chart Window, and a maximized SubChart can be restored to its original size.
