invisible plots

[ttodua]

I've tried many many different things, but cant figure this out.
i have several plots on chart. but for only 1 plot, i want it to have yellow color in databox and in pricemarker, but on chart, it was invisible (no lines... let it be transparent or whatever, lets say, 0.0001 width dot is acceptable also)...

but if i make it transparent, then it doesnt show in databox and it's pricemarker is not shown too.

width cant be set to the minimal as i wished, the minimum width seems to be limited (and it's noticeable... i want mostly invisible to human eye).

can you help?

Hello TazoTodua,

Unfortunately, I'm not clear on the goal.

Are you trying to hide a plot from the chart but show it in the DataBox?

The DataBox only shows plots. I don't think this would be possible. You can remove the line by unsetting old values, but you can't remove the plot.

ChelseaB, goal is quite simple. I dont want to be visible it on chart, but visible on DataBox (and would be great to have PriceMarker too on Y-axis).

Hello TazoTodua,

Yeah, as I mentioned that's not really possible. Plots appear in the DataSeries window.

The example I provided shows how to remove the line but keep the plot. Are you finding this is not adequate for an example?

[ttodua]

I couldnt specifically find which code does that.
I mainly wish to remove the visual line, and all other remained. just want to visually hide it. which property should i use, i couldnt understand from that script-code.

btw, in the meanwhile, the rudest solution i've found so far, is to set the brush color to

var myBrush = ChartControl.Properties.ChartBackground;
myBrush = myBrush.Clone();
myBrush.Opacity= 0.01;
PlotBrushes[0][0] = myBrush;

the drawback is that PriceMarker becomes transparent too. If I want to have PriceMarker with visible color, then I have to use this code:

...
PlotBrushes[0][1] = myBrush;
Plots[0].PlotStyle = PlotStyles.Dot;

but drawback is that it then needs to have plot visible on last bar.

Hello TazoTodua,

In the AdvanceDecline indicator Lines 66 and 273 through 275.

yes, I see that, but that removes the values from databox too when you mouseover on historical bars ... that's the problem i talked...

Hello TazoTodua,

Ah I understand, you want to be able to have the historical values in the databox and not just the updated value.

Possibly a transparent plot is what you want.
