You can have the chart arrangement that you're describing, but it's all done through 1 chartbook, not 4 chartbooks. I use 1 chartbook on 2 monitors, but there's only 1 menu bar and 1 toolbar. In your case, the menu bar would stretch across the top 2 monitors, the tool bar would be wherever you placed it. You have to configure your video card to where each monitor is displaying one quarter of the chartbook. I'm not sure what you'll initially be seeing, but at some point, whether it's now or it was before you configured your video card, you'll need to manually pull the exterior borders (the double arrows) of the chartbook to where the 1 chart book now covers all 4 monitors. Your video card will let you save this configuration as a preset, do that, and you'll probably need to save 1 or 2 more presets, depending on the different things you would use your monitors for. I have three presets, they're all icons on my desktop: 1. Sierra Chart (this is the 2 monitor configuration 2. Disable #1 (this disables the upper monitor) 3. Disable #2 (this disables the lower monitor). Now populate the chartbook with your individual charts, and arrange them into the "4 chartbook" display that you wanted. The outer borders of the charts that are at the edges of each monitor can be perfectly fitted to each monitor. I've included a snapshot of my chartbook, but it's not going to display right when viewing it on 1 monitor. My chartbook measures 35" wide and 39" vertically, and every individual chart that you see measures 11.5" x 6.25". If you really want it, you can do it, it's just going to take some time. http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?l=1437601510294.png |
