Re: [amibroker] Difference between templates and layouts

[Keith McCombs <kmccombs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Having some problems rapping my brain around Chart Templates.  Some of those problems are:
1.  When I save a template, it only saves as a .aly or .chart file.  I can't figure out how to save a  .act file.

2.  When I open a .aly or .chart file I see many 'sheets' listed.  I have always thought of each sheet as being a window.  But now it looks like that was wrong.  So then, what is a 'window'?

3.  I've always used used different Layouts, and thought I knew what they were.  But now with Templates?  If I open a .awl file and a .aly file, they the look same to me.
 
4.  How are Layouts and Templates related?  If a Layout can contain more than one Template, how do I know which Template I am viewing?

Please help me get my brain back.
