This video highlights some exciting new visual presentation options available to the Zig Zag Indicator: Equi-Zig, Delta Shading, and Volume Shading. The Equi-Zig option draws each leg of the Zig Zag in a variable width reflective of the volume of the leg. The Delta and Volume Shading colors each leg with a shade reflective of the magnitude of the delta or volume respectively. With Equi-ZIg, the user may choose the maximum width in pixels; each leg is drawn with a width that is a percentage of that max width. The width is computed by multiplying the max width by the volume of the leg and dividing by the maximum volume of all visible legs. This enhancement makes it very easy to visually compare the volume of different moves without inspecting textual labels. Volume Shading will use bolder colors for legs with greater volume, and will blend into the background for legs with low volume. Delta Shading allows the user to provide two colors for positive and negative delta, and paints each leg with bolder colors when the magnitude of the delta is greater, and blends into the background for smaller delta magnitudes.
