The Chart Window

A Chartsmith document has only one Chart Window, though any chart in the document can be viewed using that Chart Window. The Chart Window contains the Chart View , where charts are displayed and manipulated; and the Navigator, which shows thumbnail images of each chart in the document, and is used to select the chart to be viewed. Also in the upper left corner of the Chart Window are the Shortcut Buttons, used to quickly access the inspector, color panel and annotation panel. Many of the Chart Window features are detailed here.

Document Title
The title of the document is displayed in the title bar of the chart window.

The Current Chart
The current chart is displayed in the Chart View. Charts usually include the following components: background, title, subtitle, legend, grid, series, and annotations.

Navigator
The Navigator is a scrolling view of mini-charts or thumbnail images at the far left side of the Chart Window. Each chart in a document has a thumbnail representation in the Navigator. The Navigator can be used to select single or multiple charts from a Chartsmith document.

Shortcut Buttons
In the upper left corner of the Chart Window, above the Navigator, are three buttons. These buttons are shortcuts to panels that are accessible from the Chartsmith Tools submenu. The buttons provide quick access to the Inspector, Color and Annotation panels.

Chart Indicator
At the bottom right of the Chart Window is the chart indicator. The chart indicator shows the chart number of the selected chart. The chart indicator allows you to type in a chart number to select a chart, or use the arrow buttons to move forward or backward through charts in the document.
