Gann Fan drawing tool

[pjsmith]

OK, don't laugh - I'm playing with Gann Fans (again).

I've re-discovered the old problem that made me _hate_ the fan drawing tool on Ninja. The fact that the drawing object appears to not be a set of lines, but a whole block that covers _everything_ the fan covers (which is normally most of your chart bars, lines, etc.). This always makes it impossible to click on anything else below. I know you can shft-wheel, which makes some bits more accessible than others, but still. It's a royal pain... Any way around this? Any one know of one that draws just the lines, not a whole area, so this issue is not experienced?

Thanks.

If you set the Opacity of the fan to "0"....then you can click on objects below the fan....
Gann fans are not as accurate as Fibonacci fans incidentally.....possibly an option here ??
Could the length of fan lines also be user limited as desired in price & time ??

Aha! Much appreciated. Thanks. Seems to do the trick. I will take a look at Fib fans too, if I can find one. Cheers.
