Hello,
I made a new study on Number Bars (together with Volume By Price). However, the bars are very small. When I choose Tools / zoom-in, I can only select a part of the screen, and it remains static.
I already tried the settings for the Numbers Bars study and increased with 'Outline width for background types' and 'Spacing adjustment value' but this has not helped me yet.
Please help me,
thnx

Thank you for your explanation, but I'm affraid it did not help me. For starters: when selecting Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale, I only get
- Use left side scale
- Highlight Timescales...
- Hide..
- Hide..
- Display Day of week...
- Include seconds
- Include Microseconds
- Display year
- Reset scales
- Display Months
- Vertical..

So not Scale Range Type.

I am working in IT and I'm a coder. But I find this programm very hard to comprehend. Means I need to buy plugins like QuantVue to be able to really work the data.

Sorry, that documentation was not updated for the new interface. If you select "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Scale" there is a "button" at the top that says "[Scale]". Select that button to open the Scale Settings for the chart. You can also right-click on the Price Ladder and select "Scale Settings" for a chart.

Then go through the rest of the information in that section.

So I bought a template from an external party. How can I switch off the global settings in order to see the template as it was created.
thanx

If you are referring to the Graphics Settings, then if the charts you received are not already setup with the option for "Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings" disabled in "Chart >> Graphics Settings - Chart", then there is no option. In this case, the person created the charts using the Global Graphics Settings, and when you open the chart, it is going to use your Global Graphics Settings.

The charts would have to have been saved using the chart specific graphics settings for you to also get those graphics when you open the chart. Refer to the following:
Graphics Settings: Using Different Color and Graphics Settings for Specific Charts
