IsOverlay vs. DisplayInDataBox vs. DrawOnPricePanel

[molecool]

I'm getting a bit confused about those three indicator settings. Is there any overlap?

My understanding thus far:

IsOverlay = like in NT7 determines whether or not an indicator has its own panel or is drawn on top of the price panel.

DisplayInDataBox = How is that different than IsOverlay?

DrawOnPricePanel = Indicators draws series and such in own panel but explicit draw operations appear on the price panel?

Thanks in advance.

Hello molecool,

DisplayInDataBox controls if plot values will appear in the data box.

This is different from IsOverlay in that IsOverlay controls if the default Panel selection is the input series or its own panel, while DisplayInDataBox controls if a plot's value will appear in the data box.

DrawOnPricePanel controls if drawing objects will appear in the panel with the indicator or if drawing objects will appear in the price panel.

Okay, that makes sense. I for some reason misconstrued the term 'data box' thinking that it was the panel.

All cleared up - thanks.
