Investor/RT Answer
Answers to Common Questions

   

Question

What exactly is "Presentation Mode"?
   

Answer

A global option has been added to Investor/RT, called "Presentation Mode". When Investor/RT is put into Presentation Mode, certain graphical objects, like candlestick bodies, histograms, custom profiles, and Renko chart boxes, are drawn with a shading effect. While this mode can be more aesthetically pleasing, it is not necessarily recommended for continuous use. Drawing objects in this mode is generally somewhat more processor intensive. You may want to limit use of this feature to creating screenshots, or when reviewing charts after market hours.  Presentation Mode can be quickly turned on or off by right-clicking in the message area of the main toolbar, and selecting "Presentation Mode". A "Presentation Mode" checkbox is also available in the "Setup: Preferences: General" window. The shaded effect will generally be noticeable only when drawing rectangles that are at least eight pixels wide. For instance, the shaded effect will be noticeable on candlestick bodies if the "Pixels/Bar" setting found in the Chart Preferences (General Tab) is at least eight. If there are other areas of the software that you would like to see visually enhanced in "Presentation Mode", please email your suggestions to support@linnsoft.com
