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>
== Resizing SubCharts ==
To Resize SubCharts, position the mouse pointer over the border line between two SubCharts; once the pointer changes
into a '''Splitter''' [[File: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.
<br>
=== Maximizing SubCharts ===
To maximize a SubChart, right-click on the chart area of the SubChart to be maximized and then click '''Maximize SubChart'''.
<br>
=== Restoring SubCharts ===
To restore a maximized SubChart to its original size, right-click on the chart area and then click '''Restore SubChart'''.
<br>
== Moving Data Series between SubCharts ==
<br>
A data series in one SubChart can be moved to an existing or a new SubChart within the same
Chart Window. Each SubChart can contain a number of objects.
<br>
=== Moving Data Series to Existing SubChart ===
A data series can be moved using the '''Format Instruments''' window:
# Open the '''Format Instruments''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span>
# Select the '''Settings''' tab.
# In the '''Display''' section, in the '''SubChart''' scrolling list box, select the '''SubChart #''' you wish to move the series to.
<br>A data series can also be moved by the following method:
# Position the mouse pointer over the over the series or the Status Line of the series to be moved.
# Once the '''Pointer''' [[File:Pointer.png]] changes into a '''Hand''' [[File:Hand.png]], hold the left mouse button and drag the pointer to another SubChart.
# Release the mouse button to complete moving the series.
<br>
=== Moving Data Series to New SubChart ===
A data series can be moved using the '''Format Instruments''' window:
# Open the '''Format Instruments''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span>
# Select the '''Settings''' tab.
# In the '''Display''' section, in the '''SubChart''' scrolling list box, select '''Show On Top''' or '''Show On Bottom''' to move the series to a new SubChart at the top or at the bottom of the Chart Window, respectively.
<br>A data series can also be moved by the following method:
# Position the mouse pointer over the series or the Status Line of the series to be moved.
# Once the '''Pointer''' [[File:Pointer.png]] changes into a '''Hand''' [[File:Hand.png]], hold the left mouse button and drag the pointer to the upper or lower border of the Chart Window, or of another SubChart.
# Once the pointer changes into the '''Create New SubChart''' [[File:Subgraph_New.gif]] symbol, release the mouse button to create a new SubChart.
<br>
== Hiding and Redisplaying SubCharts ==
In some instances displaying a SubChart may not be necessary. A SubChart can be hidden by hiding all of the objects it contains. Hidden objects retain their full functionality.
=== Hiding Subcharts ===
A SubChart can be hidden by hiding all of the objects it contains.
Objects can be hidden by using the '''Format Instruments''' window:
# Open the '''Format Instruments''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span>
# Select the '''Settings''' tab.
# In the '''Display''' section, in the '''SubChart''' scrolling list box, select '''Hide'''.
<br>An object can also be hidden by one of the following methods:
* Click the '''Hide Object''' icon on the '''Control''' toolbar; or:
* Select '''Format''' in the main menu and click '''Hide Object'''.
<br><div style="background-color: #E3FBE5;">'''Note''': Starting with MultiCharts 8.8 beta 1 any hidden data series does not affect bar spacing of any other data series. In any previous version even though a data series is hidden it still affects bar spacing in order to synchronize invisible bars with visible bars.</div>
<br>To hide a SubChart you may have to repeat the procedure for any additional objects that the SubChart may contain.
=== Redisplaying Hidden SubCharts ===
A hidden object or a data series can be redisplayed in a SubChart.
To redisplay a data series:
# Open the '''Format Instruments''' window.<br><span>{{FormatSymbol}}</span>
# Select the object to be redisplayed and click the '''Format''' button to display the '''Format Instruments''' window.
# Select the '''Settings''' tab.
# In the '''Display''' section, in the '''SubChart''' scrolling list box, select '''Show On Top''', '''Show On Bottom''', or '''SubChart #n''', to redisplay the data series in a new SubChart at the top, a new SubChart at the bottom, or in an existing SubChart, respectively, in the Chart Window.
