Canvas is built using three foundational pieces: Workspaces, Containers, and Components. Together, these three configurable elements can be used to create dynamic pages that match how you use SpotGamma.

Workspaces

A Workspace is a configurable page where you can customize and arrange different SpotGamma charts into the layout you prefer. Any changes you make within Canvas are automatically saved to the current workspace, so you can return to that same view in the future.

You can create more than one Workspace and page between them, which makes it easy to keep separate setups for different trading approaches. In the top left, the Workspace dropdown allows you to create new workspaces, view previously created workspaces, or delete workspaces you no longer use. See two examples of different workspace setups in the Using Canvas section below.

Containers

Containers are the designated areas within a workspace where SpotGamma charts are displayed. Each container is moveable, and the borders for any container are adjustable, so you can configure a container to meet your personal preference.

Each container can hold between one and five SpotGamma charts or tables. When creating a new container, there are two options to choose between:

• Tabbed Container: This option allows you to add up to 5 components to that container, which are selectable as tabs across the top of the container. 
• Single Component: When selected, a Single Component container allows just one chart within that container. This maximizes the space available, which may be useful when viewing larger charts, such as TRACE or Compass.

To remove a container, select the red delete icon in the container’s top right corner.

Pro Tip: Use single-component containers for the charts you stare at most, and group less-critical charts together as tabs inside a shared container to save room.

Components

Components are the individual building blocks of Canvas, consisting of SpotGamma charts, tables, and graphs. SpotGamma’s HIRO Indicator, TRACE, Tape, Compass, Founder’s Notes, Volatility Dashboard charts, and Equity Hub charts can all be added as components within Canvas.

You can add new components to your Canvas Workspace in two ways:

• For a Tabbed Container, click the + icon at the top of the container.
• With a Single Component container, click the + Add Component button.

From the Add Component window shown on the right, you can select between 30+ different components to add to your view. To remove a component from a tab, click the X button next to the chart’s name at the top of the container.

Note that HIRO, TRACE, and Tape can only be added twice to the same workspace.
