This question (wishlist) item may be point and figure specific or may be more general for other chart styles.
I like my point and figure X's and O's to be visually smaller than current WL7 sizing, so that I can see more columns on the screen. I therefore tried the following code in an attempt to reduce the bar spacing as the property is a double.
However this did not do anything. I tried even smaller values, again to no effect.
Is this possible? If not could this be a cosmetic feature request?

Bar spacing 1 is literally 1-pixel, that can't be set smaller.
More columns would require "faster" P&F changes, right?.. or a longer monitor?

or a weekly scale?
Yes and No.
1 have supersize monitor that has charts that includes large, medium and small timescales of P&F so that I can crosscheck my algorithms.
For me PnF settings:
daily with rev size 3 == Weekly OHLC bars
daily with rev size 1 == Daily OHLC bars
30min with rev size 1 and smaller box size == 30min OHLC bars
So for example for AAPL:
large size : WL6 lets me see almost 2 years of columns, but WL7 only 8 months
med size: WL6 almost 1 year of columns, but WL7 only 5 months
small size: WL6 3 months, but WL7 only 1 month
My request is cosmetic, allowing me easy cross check, but I have found the WL6 scaling is optimal for the amount of history I need to see. For example significant PnF structures happened Feb-Mar 2020, Oct-Nov 2020 and Mar-Apr 2021 and my experience with WL6 scaling over the years suggest this is typical.
Thanks for the help

We can probably tweak the P&F rendering to allow it to draw smaller boxes for lower bar spacings. i’ll take a look tomorrow.
In the next release of Trend Chart Styles which will coincide with Build 30 you'll be able to shrink the P&F bar spacing down much smaller.
Excellent news. Thank you.
