<title>Asset and Liability Piecharts</title>
<para><emphasis>PICTURES NEEDED!!!!</emphasis>
</para>
<para>This is not yet documented.</para>
<para>These piecharts are useful for getting an
view of how your assets and liabilities are categorized.
By selecting options appropriately, you can examine, say,
the allocation of your stock portfolio, or get an overall
view of your investment mix.
Note that piecharts can be rotated by clicking on them and
dragging the mouse, and individual segments can be "exploded".</para>

<title>The Gnome MDI</title>
<para><emphasis>PICTURES NEEDED!!!!</emphasis>
</para>
<para>This is not yet documented.</para>
<para>GnuCash can display multiple views of your finances at once, in
multiple windows, a tabbed "notebook" style, or in one plain window.
This facility is provided through the GNOME MDI (multiple document
interface). When you open a new
<link linkend="xacc-mainwin">account tree</link>
or <link linkend="xacc-reports">report</link> using the file menu, the
new view can be displayed in several ways.
</sect1>
<sect1 id="xacc-notebook-view">
<title>Notebook View</title>
<para><emphasis>Picture Needed Here!</emphasis></para>
<para>Notebook view puts all new views in the main window, but places
them on named tabs - just like a real notebook, in fact. You can bring
a notebook tab to the front by clicking on it.</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="xacc-multiple-windows-view">
<title>Multiple Windows</title>
<para><emphasis>Picture Needed Here!</emphasis></para>
<para>If this mode is selected, a new top-level window will be created
for the new view. You can move and resize this window any way you
want, independently of the original gnucash main window. If you have
a window manager that supports multiple desktops, you can happily
move it onto a to a different one.
</sect1>
<sect1 id="xacc-single-window-view">
<title>Single Window</title>
<para><emphasis>Picture Needed Here!</emphasis></para>
<para>The single-window view works like the notebook view, except
that instead of using tabs to select which report/account
tree you wish to view, you can select them from the Window menu.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="xacc-selecting-mdi-mode">
<title>Selecting MDI Modes</title>
<para>MDI mode can be set in two different ways. Firstly
you can set it within GnuCash through the "Application MDI Mode"
option in the <link linkend="xacc-preferences">
Preferences Dialog</link></para>
<para>However, if you prefer a particular MDI mode across all your
GNOME applications, you can set the preference for all of them in
the MDI section of the GNOME Configuration program (see the GNOME
on-line help for more details). To get GnuCash to recognize the
global setting, set the "Application MDI Mode" option in the preferences
dialog to "Use GNOME Default".</para>

<title>GnuCash as a Web Browser?</title>
<para><emphasis>Picture Required!!!</emphasis></para>
<para>GnuCash has the ability to display most web pages as a "Frame URL"
report.
This can be very useful, particularly as a way to display web-based
financial information, in combination with private gnucash data
as part of a <link linkend="xacc-multicolumn-view-report">
Multicolumn View</link>.</para>
<para>Note that GnuCash's web viewer is not as sophisticated as
fully-fledged web browsers, and may not fully display pages containing
Javascript, Flash animation, movies and sound, and so on. If you want
to do that, you need a stand-alone browser like <emphasis>Mozilla</emphasis>.
</para>
<para>Options supported by this report include the following:

Report Title</link></emphasis></para></listitem>
