Box Bar Suggestion...

[Alfred]

Have mentioned this idea some time ago but am not sure if a tracking number was ever assigned....

As a new box bar snaps onto a chart all other bars are moved to the left...
this can take up a big portion of your screen space depending on the length of the box bar....(as in the screen shot below)...

My suggestion is....do not let the right edge of the last box bar show until it scrolls into your space set to right....the top and bottom line of the last box bar would still show as the bar developed though....even when the right edge may still not be showing. This would save a lot of screen space and eliminate that possibly so annoying jump in the chart as a new large box bar snaps on....and where you may have larger box bars on a small window a significant portion of the window can be lost as a new box bar snaps on.

Also...this is minor...I personally would not have the left side of a box bar outline continue to show as the bar begins to exit the left side of the screen....as it is now the left side shows and the width of the left side bar appears to get continually smaller until the whole box bar is eliminated as the bar finally exits left.

Thanks much....

Additional Stuff...

Perhaps have an area in the Data Series formatting area to either plot Box Bars the existing way or the new suggested way below per individual box bar...each method would have the preferred charting characteristics depending upon the user...

.........

Edit...also noticed as a box bar exits toward screen left side it flips at its initial right side and eats into smaller size bars (of a second data series) to the right of its initially expected end for a bit then finally disappears....should this be corrected ??...
