Something I've posted on this before that is valid with all charting
software. Since the geometry of the square is the same, differing only in
scale or placement, I find I can do this kind of thing easily in graphics
software such as Corel Photo Paint.
I can draw a master square. I save it as a bitmap. This software then
allows me to stretch and overlay that bitmap transparently over any chart
also saved as a bitmap. I can place squares wherever I like, mirror them,
etc.
The beauty is that I can use bitmaps of charts taken from any charting
program on this earth, whether it supports Gann tools or not.
Just thought I'd repeat this idea as a convenient tool, particularly
for anyone who doesn't want to buy new software just to tweak a tool to get
it to do what they want it to do.
From what I understand, the same procedure is being used by some in
certain Microsoft products as well, products you may already be using.
