Whenever a point and figure chart is selected the
program squeezes the results horizontally so that the
chart is useless for further analisys. Enlarging it produces
figures sqeezed vertically albeit horizontally separate.
In addition to this the point and figure chart freezes MoV for a
while making it inoperable for a numer of seconds (45). the
chart displays 0000's in many rows. A mouse click on the
magnifying class releases it.

I don't like the fact that zoom is required to view the chart properly due to
the horizontal squeezing, but I'm not sure the vertical squeezing is a bug.
Point and Figure charts don't have a point for every day of data - only
significant days. Therefore the latest mark on a PF chart may be from three
months ago. The point of all this is that there is no notion of a space between
marks in any particular movement - it's continuous. However, I consider the
point that as zooming in horizontally separates the columns it ought to scale
vertically as well.
Also, I haven't seen the freezing behaviour. Can you post the data which
causes this behaviour?
Thanks,

I would like to suggest a square grid be used for Point and Figure charts to address this issue. PnF charts are traditionally drawn on a square grid.
A square grid would solve the issue of squeezing when zooming.
The popular 3 box reversal method of analysis requires 45 degree bullish support lines and 135 degree bearish resistance lines be drawn. Moving forward, a square grid would aid in the drawing of these diagonal lines.
