ZigZag

Only moves bigger than a percentage, drawn as straight legs.

It connects the tops and bottoms of moves larger than the threshold. It is the cleanest way to see the structure of a chart.

In TradeXtool

Look only, to see where the real swings were.

Watch out

The last leg is not final: it redraws as long as the move has not reached the threshold. Never backtest on it: it knows the future.
