The "Current Chart Preview" panel on the Main Screen displays a preview style wheel (see Wheel Styles and Dial Styles) and chart details of whichever calculated chart is currently selected – or optionally the wheel may be switched off and just chart details and comments displayed. The chart’s astrological settings, such as its coordinates, house system and zodiac are shown at the upper right of the preview window. Any such settings that differ from Solar Fire’s current defaults for those settings are highlighted to draw your attention to them.

Note: The "current" chart in the list of "Calculated Charts" can be determined by it's appearance in the list. If only one chart is highlighted that is the current chart. If many charts are highlighted the current chart will be one of these and it will be surrounded by a dotted rectangle. The current chart is the last chart to be selected, i.e. to be clicked on, or dragged over, by the mouse or up/down arrow keys.

 

>> To change the current chart preview display type

•Use a right hand mouse click while the mouse is over the "Chart Preview" panel.

This will display a pop-up menu with the following options...

•Chart Wheel – Display a preview chart wheel with small captions

•Chart Details – Display larger chart captions

•Chart Details & Comments – Display chart captions and chart comments (if any)

•Preview Wheel Style – Allowing you to select an alternative wheel style to display

 

The following information is also displayed just below the preview window...

•"Save Status" – This is a caption that indicates whether or not this chart is already saved in a chart file. The text can be “Not Saved”, “Saved”, “Retained” or “Cannot be Saved”. If the current chart was opened from a file, or was saved to a file, then hovering the mouse over this item causes a pop-up hint to appear showing the filename and record number of the chart, and clicking on this item will cause the Chart Open dialog to appear, displaying this file and highlighting this chart entry in it.

•"Comments" – This is text that indicates whether or not any comments have been added to this chart, and if so how many characters of text. Clicking on this item will open up the comments editing dialog in which you can see the comments and edit them if you wish.

•"Events" – This is text that indicates whether or not any life events have been added to this chart, and if so how many events. Clicking on this item will open up the events editing dialog in which you can see the events and add, delete or edit them if you wish.
