Splitting your chart window into panes

You can split the display of the chart into two or four panes. Splitting into panes means that you can work with smaller, more manageable areas of the chart.

About this task

You can display a different region of your chart in each of the panes, and zoom in and out or scroll in each pane independently. Splitting your chart into panes can make it easier to link entities that are far apart. You can display each of the remote entities in its own pane, then drag a link that crosses panes.

Procedure

To split a chart window into panes:
  1. Click the View tab, and then in the Window group, click Split.

    Two-gray lines that cross at right angles are displayed on your screen, which you can move around by using the pointer.

    To split your window into just two panes, drag the pointer to one edge or the bottom of the screen.

  2. Double-click the split intersection in the middle of the panes to remove the split.
    When the pointer is over the intersection, it changes to four small arrows. The currently selected pane fills the entire window.
  3. To move the position of the split, click Split and drag the split to a new location.
    Note: You can click the vertical or horizontal split line to move the split along just one axis (left-right or up-down).
  4. Click any of the panes to work with them.
