NT7 plots different from NT6.5 !!! Problem Here!!!

[RJay]

NT,

Below is a simple code that plots volume bars.


if (netVol < 0) DeltaDown.Set(netVol);

else

DeltaUp.Set(netVol);


In version 6.5,

With the code " if (netVol < 0) "

Only DeltaUp or DeltaDown is displayed.


In version 7.0,

NT disregards the code " if (netVol < 0) " When it displays plot values.

And both DeltaUp or DeltaDown are displayed continuously.

Most of the time one or the other plots zero and the other the correct value.

Intermittently, I get two separate non zero values of netVol displaying at the same time.

Ex DeltaUp netVol = 127 at the same time DeltaDown netVol = -7 .


The problem is easily identifiable by observing the numeric position tags on the right side of the indicator panel.

Both tags are displayed continuously even though only one is being called at a time by the program.

RJay,

I believe the issue you are running into is that if no value is set (NT7 new behaviour) for a DataSeries, some dummy value is used...Going from memory here. Try something like:

if (netVol < 0)

DeltaDown.Set(netVol);
DeltaUp.Set(0);

else

DeltaDown.Set(0);
DeltaUp.Set(netVol);

OK, If I'm understanding this correctly,

Each programmer is responsible for forcing unused plotting DataSeries to a specific value, in this case zero???

I believe so but will double check and get back to you. I was assuming that you are plotting a histogram thus, setting a value to zero might give you the effect you desire.

Actually, if you don't stuff in a value, we do set a dummy value to the Close however, this does not come through on the plots. If you don't set a value, the plot is ommited just like NT6.5.

I suspect I likely am not following your issue about a "continuous plot" so an image example could help clarify it.

[RJay]

V7 displays 2 values for one variable.

Will have someone look into this based on the code you provided in post #1.

Will attempt to reproduce here, are you sure this on the latest NT 7 beta 6 (7.0.0.6)?

I believe we had an issue with similar appearance in a earlier one thus checking off this first, thanks.

Yes, I am using 7.0.0.6
