Graphs: Add displays + Option to change the display order

Comments, critical feedback, praise, or suggestions for new features.

Hi Mark,

Here is an overview of some graph window displays offered by the TradingView program:

There's even a lot more...

The suggestion is not to add them all ( :) ) but to add more, to the existing 1-4-9 displays.

I suggest adding the 6 displays below:

Edit: a 8-display could be considered too (4x2 and 2x4)

I think the current 1-4-9 displays still do a great job. But they had been chosen at the age of the 4/3 ratio screens. Nowadays, there are tons of screen setups available on the market: wide, ultra-wide, squared... Often the monitors can be rotate to landscape or portrait mode too.
And, of course, each graph window in FM can be resized too at the user's convenience, to fine-tune the height and width of a given graph display.

I think that with these additional displays the ability to display the graphs precisely to our needs would be top notch!

-----------------------------

Another request is to add an option to change the order of the graphs in the displays.
Currently (quote frome the Online Help - Investment Stack page):

When the number of displays is set to 4 or 9 the top left graph will display the top of the investment stack. The subsequent investments on the stack will be displayed first from left to right, and then top to bottom, just as the writing on a page.


The option would allow to switch to this behavior:
The subsequent investments on the stack will be displayed top to bottom first, and then left to right:

20251025-sam.17h06-01.png (29.04 KiB) Viewed 108 times


The option would be effective for all the displays.

The reason for this request is that, it is often easier to compare two or more investment graphs when they are placed one below the other, so vertically, rather than placed side by side, so horizontally. (especially the same date range is applied identically to each graph).
So, with this new option, we could manually change the order of the investment stack to vertically compare the graphs we want. This would be for me a significant improvement in my comparison process of graphs.

Thanks.

Somewhat correlated: I would prefer, when several investments are selected in the "Select Investments to Display" dialog, that the display not be automatically changed. E.g., I select 4 investments in this dialog but I may prefer to see them with a 1x1 display (one after the other), or with 9x9 display. IMO it would be better if FM doesn't change the display depending on the number of investments selected (it is a bit annoying), but just stick to the user choice.
