I did not thought about playing with "Asset Barchart"; It works, but you =
have=20
to admit that the result of such a graph, day by day, on 3 months is not=20
really convinent of readable. As you guessed, I thought about a lineplot;=
=20
something very simple, readable, which gives you an overview of the evolu=
tion=20
of an account during time. I find strange that, on a software like Gnucas=
h,=20
such a function has never been implemented... Much simpler finance manage=
r=20
(cbb, for instance) have this function buit-in!

Moreover, (at least on my computer), the "asset barchart graph" has=20
difficulties to deal with negative numbers (which can happen for a bank=20
account; even if it is never nice when it happens...)

Thank you
