| windowing |
Chart Data are organized in AAF-Chart-List files, any number
of windows can be opened. Chart data are separate from graphical
preferences, so you can set up as many theme files with as many
custom bodies and custom fonts and custom symbols as the hard disk
of your Mac allows. There is one chart menu and one windows menu
allowing precise selection in any situation |
| preferences |
are set independent of chart data, any number of preference
files can be set up but only one preference file is open at a
time (though during one session they can be switched) |
