# Chart Group

A Chart-Group is a chart container, a window containing a potentially infinite number of chart windows.

Each chart window must belong to a Chart-Group

A Chart-Group is contained in a Workspace. Within the Workspace, Chart-Group is accessible from its respective Tab, identifiable by Chart-Group name:

Once new Chart-Group has been created, corresponding Tab is added to existing tabs. You can move Chart-Group Tab as you wish **by dragging it** to the right or left.

#### **Access an existing Chart-Group**

To access an *open* Chart-Group, select the Tab corresponding to the Chart-Group name.

#### **Close a Chart-Group**

You can close a Chart-Group at any time without losing its contents. A closed Chart-Group is **NOT deleted**, but simply removed from the current workspace, and can be reopened at any time.

There are several ways to close a Chart-Group:

- Click **X** on the Chart-Group tab (top right).
- **Right-click** on Chart-Group tab > **Close**.
- Menu **Chart-Groups** > **Close**.

#### **Reopen an existing Chart-Group**

When a Chart-Group is closed, it is not permanently deleted but put in stand-by keeping all charts contained and their settings.

You can reopen a Chart-Group by pressing **Stand-by Chart-Groups** button and selecting the Chart-Group to reopen:

#### **Detach a Chart-Group**

A Chart-Group can be detached from the workspace window and placed, for example, on a second monitor (**NOT RECOMMENDED**).

***If you have two or more monitors, **we strongly recommend** not detaching the Chart-Group from the workspace window. Instead, create a new workspace to optimize graphics refresh performance.***

#### **Relocate Chart-Group Tab**

You can reposition the Chart-Group Tab as you like using drag & drop (click and hold the left mouse button on the tab, drag it left or right, then release to set the new position).
