Hello John & Sierra Chart Engineering, About the 1x1 square, this is also referred to as a Gann Square whereby a 45-degree angle (1x1) is drawn from a point on the chart, either on an incline if a low is selected, or a decline if a high is selected. Other common ratios and angles are 1x2 (63.75 degrees), 1x3 (71.25 degrees), 2x1 (26.25 degrees) and 3x1 (18.75 degrees) among others. What’s important is that the angle and ratio aren’t distorted if either the X-axis or Y-axis are stretched or resized. Refer to the attached “Gann Square.png”. The above refers to standard geometric angles. It would also be ideal if the same functionality can be used for offset geometric angles whereby the offset is set by clicking on a second point. For example, clicking from a low to high will create the axis for which the angles are drawn. The reverse applies if clicking from high to low. Another ideal feature would be if a circle can be drawn with the radius being two points that have been selected. For example, if clicking from a low to high, this would be the radius, with a circle then drawn using the low to high (or high to low) as the radius. Does the above adequately explain my original post? The only way to currently draw correct angles is by using a protractor, by hand! Thank you |
