But there is a way to solve the problem. Figure 5.12 shows a series of boxes whose
; ~! \) r, a4 ^ ?" ]( {, Y9 Icorners are connected, creating a cross within each box. Because there are fifty-two weeks

only a single box were displayed mapping fifty-two weeks along the horizontal, versus $52% @5 f. k4 O5 l- s, z6 s1 M

produce the same angled lines across the chart. When the internal corners are connected,

simple solution is to draw the Gann boxes, establish a true 45º line, and then remove the
