Resizing Chartbooks

I have tried to find a reference to this in Support and the Support Board as I believe it is a common problem, but have not found an answer. I have many chartbooks supplied with Green Charts that do not fit on my monitor screen, mainly too small and unreadable. What I would like to see in Green Charts is a function to increase the size of the whole chartbook and all the individual charts by 150% or 200% or even an be able to enter a custom resizing amount. Tile Vertically or Tile Horizontally will not work as these chartbooks have different sized charts in them - some vertical rectangles, some square or horizontal rectangular, etc.

I know I can drag the corners and resize the charts individually but it would be nice to just make one adjustment and have all the different charts change size and fit the screen. I know you must have been asked about this before but since Green Charts seems to get better with each upgrade, I thought I would see if this is something that might be incorporated in the future.

Also I changed the Global Graphics Settings so the fonts are legible on the charts and so far I have had to go into each individual chart and choose under Graphics Settings - Chart > Use Global Graphics Settings. Is there a way to add this to a link or a Study so I can just click once and change the fonts in every chart instead on going through them one at a time? And if no one has said it lately, you people in Support do incredible work. I have been reading through and studying how you have improved Green Charts since I started using it back in February and I tell all my colleagues (who are stuck back on version 1852) how much work you do into improving the software with each upgrade. Thanks for all the hard work and a great program.

Other than the tiling commands, window sizes are meant to be manually controlled and then you save the Chartbook to save the layout. So there is not a way to do what you want.

No, we would need to add support for linking graphics settings, but that would be very involved and we do not know when it would be done.


Thank you for the comment.
