Behavior of the "X "axis in a Chart window

[bouncetherubble]

Hi,

Is there a way to avoid latest bar data in charts to penetrate the "X "axis to the Right of the window and disappear, when you use the Mouse Scroll at the chart to the Left, in direction of an earlier time? Other platforms, under that same situation, will halt the chart at that point or at where the Right Side Margin is set and start "acumulating" or "shrinking" bar data at the opened width of the window, so you automatically "know" you have reached the end, the last bar plotted in the time domain, to the right of the window in the "X" axis. That is what happens in some other platforms while using the mouse Scroll button. If you do not want that shrinking effect, you can use the bar at the bottom, or drag and drop. But NT does not have that "shrinking of the X axis " feature... either you use the Scroll button , drag and drop or the bottom bar, the area shown will always slip to that earlier position in time.


Thanks Much

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Glad to assist. Chart data may be shrunk/compressed by left-clicking in the time/X axis + holding and dragging towards the Y axis.

See below for more on these chart navigation features.

Hi,

Thanks much, I didn't now that ... but yet, is there somehow to achieve that same effect by Scrolling the bar data towards Y axis with the mouse Scroll button? That helps to create a perception parameter of the chart end area, and you don't need to be concerned exactly where you click to shrink in the X axis, since by Scrolling, the latest bar data will eventually hit the end of the X axis and start to shrink, if the Mouse scroll button is continuously used towards the left region of the chart.

Thanks much,
