Help with plotting

[dmking]

I created a simple indicator to calculate and plot a series. The output shows as a line even though i call for a bar in the PLOT. Why is this? I want to be able to choose HISTOGRAM (Bar), Line, etc at the chart. Haven't had this problem with other plotting activities.

AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.DodgerBlue, 7), PlotStyle.Bar, "mySeries");

Thanks

Hello dmking,

This would be a change where you need to remove/re add the indicator for it to be reflected. Have you done that or re applied the indicator since updating that?

I would otherwise expect that to work as a bar plot, I would likely need more details about the other code in the file to see where the error may be.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi Jesse,

Got to step out for a while. Will reply more in detail later. I have remove the indicator from the chart and then added it back. The result is the same.

Hello dmking,

Thanks for confirming that.

When you are back at it you may want to take a look at the VOL indicator, I believe that is the most simple example of a Bar plot being used so that could be referenced for comparisons to make sure you are coding similar.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hey Jesse,

Thanks for the tip. I looked at the VOL indicator and also created a modified ROC (Daily percent change) and I get the Bar plot. It must be something else that I'm doing that locks me into a line Plot even though I call for a Bar.

Hello dmking,

Thanks for checking that, yes it must be related to something in that script. What state are you creating the plot in? I can't really think of any specific reason that would limit the plot to a certain type other than something code-wise affecting it or some other script you have applied affecting it.

If you are unable to find a solution and the script is something you can post I would be happy to take a look at the code to see if I can spot anything. The alternative would be to try and generate a new script and see if just setting Value[0] to the Volume[0] works, if not upload that and we can review that.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thanks Jeese,

I do some things with shading/"clouds" that may be causing problems. I'll troubleshoot and let you know.

Thanks
