To Save chart into new format do the following:
1. Click with RIGHT MOUSE button over the chart and select
Template->Save...
2. In the file dialog, "Files of type"
combo select "Chart Template, Complete (*.chart)"
3. Type the file
name and click Save.
To load previously saved complete chart do
the following:
1. Click with RIGHT MOUSE button over the chart and
select Template->Load...
2. In the file dialog, select
previously saved *.chart file and press "Open"
Note: The procedure
AmiBroker does internally is as follows: When you save the chart into new format
it saves XML file with:
a) names of all sheets, panes, their sizes,
locations and other settings
b) paths to all formulas used by all panes
c)
the text of formulas themselves
When you load the chart in new format
AmiBroker:
a) sets up the sheets/panes according to information stored in the
file
b) for each formula stored in the file it checks if the same formula
exists already on target computer:
- if it does not exist - it will create
one
- if it exists and the contents is identical to the formula stored in
.chart file it will do nothing
- if it exists and the contents is different
then it will create NEW formula filewith _imported.afl suffix (so old file is
not touched) and will reference the pane to the _imported.afl formula
instead.
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you use any #include files AmiBroker will
store the contentsof include files as well inside chart file and will attempt to
recreate them on target machine. Please note that in case of includes it will
check if it exists and if it is different. If both conditions are met (different
file exists already) it will ask to replace or not. If you choose to replace -
it will replace and make backup of existing one with .bak extensionIf you are
using any files in "standard include files and include them using <>
braces, AmiBroker will restore files in target machine standard include folder
as well evenif the standard include folder path is different on the source
machine).
A new .chart format is intended to be used to port charts
between different computers. For storing layouts/templates on local computer you
should rather use old formats as they consume much less space (they store only
references,not the formulas themselves). One may however use new format for
archiving purposes as it keeps formulas and all references in one file that is
very convenient for backups.
