Chart Window
A window for holding game-play aids: charts, tables, etc. Adds a button to the Toolbar of the main
Module window. Clicking the button shows the window with the given name. The text of the button, an
icon, and a hotkey shortcut to open and close the window may be specified.
To add a Chart Window to your module, find the main [Module] entry at the very top of the Editor's
configuration window. Right-click it and select Add Chart Window Menu. After adding initial settings for your
Chart Window, you will find a [Chart Window Menu] component at the very bottom of your module's list of
components in the Editor window. You can then right-click the [Chart Window Menu] component to Add any
of the types of Sub-Component listed below, thus building out your Chart Window with as many charts as you need.

Sub-Components
Chart
Each chart is a GIF/JPEG/PNG image that you must create beforehand with an external program.
You specify the image file and the name of the chart.

HTML Chart
Charts can be specified using HTML as well, so long as the HTML is not too
complex. Avoid using the <head> tag, for instance.
HTML Charts can contain hyperlinks to one another, but not to external resources. You can reference any image that
exists in the module file. For example, if inf.png is an image used in one of the Game Piece definitions, you can
reference it using <img src="inf.png">. Note that because images stick around in a module file even
after the components using them have been deleted, you can add images as a regular Chart, delete the Chart, and
still use its image in an HtmlChart.

Tabbed Pane
A panel with tabs, each of which corresponds to a Chart, Panel, or other Tab panel subcomponent. The label of
the tab will be the name of the subcomponent.
Panel
A panel that can contain Charts, Tab panels, or other panels. The "Fixed cell size" box
allows you to specify a fixed number of columns that the panel will have. Otherwise, the subcomponents will
appear in a single row, or a single column if the "Vertical layout box is checked.

Map
A fully functioning Map Window can be embedded within a Chart. You can put
different maps under different tabs within the same chart window, and place and move counters onto the charts for
bookkeeping purposes.
