# Window Menu

Settings of the position and behaviour of the charts inside a SkyChart window.

## Link all Chart

From the menu: Window → Link All chart
You can have more charts open with different fields of vision, rotations or different coordination grids set. When you activate to link all charts, all charts will copy the center position of the active chart. Every change of the center position in the active chart will be followed by the other charts. You still can change the FOV or orientation of the individual charts without affecting the other charts.
This action is identical with the behaviour of a click on the icon in link-lock group of the object bar.

## Lock on ....

From the menu: Window → Lock on ….
You can set the chart to continuously display an object in the center. Locking on an object only makes sense when you've set the coordination grid of your chart to Alt-Az together with the ''Auto-refresh every'' checkbox in the Date / Time dialog box checked. If one of these conditions is not met, your displayed chart isn't moving at all.
This action is identical with the behaviour of a click on the icon in link-lock group of the object bar, or by a right click in the chart followed by a click in the pop-up window on Lock on .....

## Next Chart

From the menu: Window → Next Chart
When you 've got more charts open in your program, you can activate the next chart by a click on this line.
The short cut for this action is a combined press of the CTRL-Tab keys.

## Cascade

From the menu: Window → Cascade
When you activate this, the charts will be positioned as a shifted stack.
This action is identical with the behaviour of a click on the icon in the window group A of the main tool bar.

## Tile Horizontally

From the menu: Window → Tile Horizontally
By activating this, the charts will be displayed from the top to the bottom.
There are no icons or other ways to get here.

## Tile Vertically

From the menu: Window → Tile Vertically
The charts will be postioned side by side.
This action is identical with the behaviour of a click on the icon in the window group A of the main tool bar.

## Maximize

From the menu: Window → Maximize
After this action the active chart will fill the entire CdC window. This is the opposite action of a restore size.
This action is identical with the behaviour of a click on the black square icon at the top right corner of a chart that isn't maximized

## Chart List

From the menu: Window → [Chart_#]
A list of the opened charts appears at the bottom of the menu. Click on a corresponding line to set this chart as the “active” one.
