Again, we'll want to add a key listener to control the data-tips. Here however, our bar chart can either by vertical or horizontal. By default the chart is horizontal, so we really only need left and right support. We'll include up and down so that we can later change the direction if we want, but we'll comment it out.
Hide Titles allows you to remove the title displayed over each bar charting. By default, titles are a combination of by-variables and measures charted. They can be redundant since this info also appears on the domain axis (x axis) and the range axis (y axis).
Axis Spacing affects spacing between tick marks on the by-variable axis (x-axis). Particularly useful when secondary by-variables are present and chart type is a bar chart. Option can be used to improve seperation between clusters of bars so that it is more apparent which cluster of bars for the secondary by-variable values go with each tick mark. A larger value puts greater seperation between bar clusters. Acceptable values are 0.1 to 2.8.
Note: Some charts do not display correctly when the axis spacing values are at the extreme ends of this range (0.1 to 2.8). Such axis spacing values may cause the bars to disappear and lines to fall outside the axises. If this occurs, then just select a value closer to middle of this range.
Combine Measures in one Chart allows you to chart multiple measures on one chart. All measures selected in the Measures listbox will appear on the same chart. The first measure will be charted using the selected chart type, remaining measures will be charted as lines. When there is a secondary by-variable a mechanism is required to distinguish the secondary by-variable values within each measure. Listed below are the different color and shape schemes available to distinguish secondary by-variable values within each measure. The scheme selection affects the chart only when there is a secondary by-variable.
1st Measure Multicolor charts each measure in a different color except for the first measure. Within the first measure the secondary by-variable values are distinguished by using a different color. For all remaining measures the secondary by-variable values are distinguished by using a different shape. This scheme works best with a bar chart for the first measure.
1st Measure Color Gradient works like 1st Measure Multicolor except a color gradient, rather than different colors, is used to distinguish secondary by-variable values within the first measure. This also works best with a bar chart as first measure.
Written by the master of the craft, John Magee, An Introduction to Magee's System of Technical Analysis presents a methodology and philosophy for stock market decision making that he not only developed but that he practiced as an investment advisor for 45 odd years. Co-author of the bestselling Technical Analysis of Stock Trends, now in its eighth edition, Magee gives you a concise guide that reveals time-tested approaches for using technical analysis. You will learn how to make or save thousands of dollars, spot and stay on top of trends, time buy and sell decisions, minimize risks and boost investment profits, construct charts, and spot profitable chart patterns. Editor/co-author, W.H.C. Bassetti prepares you for the continued study of the concepts and tools developed based on Magee's theories. As a student and client of Magee he learned from America's most respected master. Now he passes this knowledge on to you. More than a catalog of chart patterns, this reference manual based on the experience of experts provides a complete analysis of the effects of buying and selling on price.

But be warned: Success involves more than the mechanical use of cookie cutter principles. It requires the ability to see markets clearly, formulate a plan, and then stick with it. An Introduction to Magee's System of Technical Analysis lays out a clear methodology and system for long-term trading/investment success.

Itâ??s easy to get frustrated with the limitations of PowerPointâ??s charting tool. Creating charts solely using PowerPoint can result in data and graphs that are flat and dull. As a result, many a presenter has turned to Adobe Photoshop to create more robust charts.
Photoshopâ??s main appeal is its ability to create a chart image and make easy changes to any color, shape, size or opacity setting. In addition, Photoshopâ??s layers can provide much-needed depth to chart objects. If you use Photoshop, the end result is often a gorgeous chart. But despite the beauty of the design, Photoshop-authored charts have one major downfall â?? once the graphic is imported into a slideshow, itâ??s impossible to edit the chartâ??s data in PowerPoint.
Consequently, a last-minute change to slideshowâ??s chart requires that you go back into the original Photoshop-created document, edit it and resave it in Photoshop, then drop it back into PowerPoint. This process can be time-consuming, cumbersome, and frustrating when chart data has to be changed often. Is there a happy medium between the cookie-cutter charts of PowerPoint and the elegant creation tools of Photoshop? At the moment, presenters have two other options:
