Visualizations

Visualizations are used to build charts, to compare portfolios to targets, and to display indicators. The Visualizations tab displays visualization pages; one page is displayed at a time. A page contains one or several visualization panels and stores all chart settings. You can create multiple pages, and use an existing page as a template to create another. For more information, see Visualization pages.

You can rearrange panels by dragging and dropping them, resize them by dragging their boundaries, and open them in popout windows by clicking the Popout button Popout button.

You can display several data series on one chart. This is specified in the Properties window (see Add data series).

Initially, chart colors are assigned by default, but you can change them by using the Colors and Markers option from the chart menu (see Edit colors).

If you place the mouse pointer over an area on the chart, a tooltip with the project's name and current data point will be displayed.
