To display charts or chart information you must use (tap on) the Charts tab, which is located in the Tab Bar (at the bottom of the screen).

The Charts tab initially opens the "Selected Charts" pane which allows you to select charts, either one or two at a time. Select one chart to view a single chart wheel or aspect grid, or two or three charts to see a biWheel, triWheel or Synastry aspect Grid.

 

>> To select one chart, two or three charts

Tap the 1 Chart button to select one chart, the 2 Charts button to select two charts, or the 3 Charts button to select three charts.

The details for the chart or charts are displayed in panels in the "Selected Charts" pane (and later the chart or charts you select here will be displayed on the main viewing area of the screen - see Viewing Charts). The chart name is at the top of the details in large characters, and under that in smaller characters is the chart type ("Male", "Female", "Event". "Sec. Prog" etc).

If you have selected two charts the first selected chart is called "Chart 1" and is always the inner chart of a biWheel, and the across chart of a synastry grid. The second selected chart is called "Chart 2" and is always the outer chart of a biWheel, and the down chart of a synastry grid.

If you have selected three charts the first selected chart is called "Chart 1" and is always the inner chart of a biWheel, and the across chart of a synastry grid. The second selected chart is called "Chart 2" and is the middle chart of a triWheel, but does not appear in a synastry grid. The third selected chart is called "Chart 3" and is always the outer chart of a triWheel, and the down chart of a synastry grid.

The various options you have for selecting charts to go in the 1 Chart, 2 or 3 Charts pane are detailed in Chart Options.

In "Chart Configuration" mode you can swap the position of any of the charts. To do this tap and hold the swap iconIcon - swap chart positionto the right of the chart you want to move into a new position.

This will cause the chart details for that chart to expand slightly into a well defined bordered rectangle that floats above the pane. Still holding down with your finger, at this point you are now able to move the chart (details and all) up or down within the Selected Charts pane, as desired, into a different chart position. As you do this the chart that was previously in the position you are moving into now vacates that position so the chart you are moving can be relocated there, with the displaced chart taking up whatever the other available position is.

Repeat this complete operation for every chart you want to reposition.

 
>> To remove a chart from the Selected Charts pane

If you have two or three charts selected, tap the Swap/Delete icon Icon Swap in the Tool Bar to enter "Chart Configuration" mode (see above).

In "Chart Configuration" mode as well as swapping the position of any of the charts, you can remove a chart from its posittion. To do this tap the "Delete" icon Icon - remove chart from position to the left of the chart you want to remove completely from its position.

This will cause the chart details box for that chart to shift to the left and a large red "Delete" button Chart Select - delete chart 7.4 to appear to the right of the chart details box. Tap this red Delete button and the chart will disappear.
