Charts
Visualise and balance economy simulations
To unfold the Chart area, click Open Chart in the Run Bar.
Charts make it possible to plot multiple variables while running your diagrams, to visualise possible outcomes, and help you monitor certain parameters either standalone or in relationship to others.
To plot, right-click any Pool or Register in your diagram and select Show in Chart from the contextual menu. If you want to plot multiple Pools, select them all, and tick "Show in Chart" in the Common Properties panel on the right.
