The Chart Settings window consists of several thematic tabs of options for calculating and displaying horoscope charts. The Size tab contains options for setting the dimensions and position of the chart wheel, and the width of the information column at right of the tableau. (To show or hide these components of the tableau, see the options on the Wheel and Data tabs).
