Abstract: In a technique for the configurable charting of data such as price shares, the data to be displayed are loaded from a server (2) to a terminal (5) by means of the Internet (1). The displayed data can then be individually configured on the display unit (monitor) (6) of the terminal (5). The user can select the configuration of the display using a pointer control unit (9) by positioning a cursor (11) in the display field (12) of the data itself. In addition, it is possible to install highlighted buttons (13, 13′) in the display field (12) of the data, which when a cursor (11) is activated provide additional information linked to the position of the button (13, 13′). For example, the data can reflect share price histories and the buttons (13, 13′) are provided at those temporal positions of a share price chart where events that could be of importance to the development of the share prices took place.
