Chart Databox Blacking Out Transparent Plot Names

[rayko]

Hello Support,

I've created an indicator that using a Mix of Transparent and Non transparent plots.

When I click the Middle mouse button on a chart, the pop-up chart Data Box shows all plots Correctly.

However when I open a Data Box dialog window using "Show Data Box" button on the chart, the Data Box shows some transparent plot "names" blacked out.

Can you please take a look a the uploaded pics and let me when know why this is happening ?

Thank you

Hello rayko,

Is the STOP_BUY plot color set to black?

It might be that the color of the plot is the same as the background..

In the Data Box window the plot names will be the same color that the plot is set to in the Indicators window.

Hello Chelsea,

I found that after setting the plot to Transparent, causes it. Looks like I tripped over something is suppose to happen.

Thanks for the help.

Hello rayko,

What color is the STOP_BUY plot set to?

(Transparent plots do not show at all in the Data Box or in the middle mouse click box)

If you wanted to see the value in the Data Box but hide from the chart, you would need to split the transparent plots into a new script and call return in OnRender(), set the color for the plot that you want to see in the databox, and this will hide the plot from the chart but still show in the databox with the selected color.

Hello Chelsea

STOP_BUY is defined as AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.SpringGreen, DashStyleHelper.Dash, 3), PlotStyle.Square, "STOP_BUY");

While in script this is executed:

PlotBrushes[intcPlot_STOP_BUY][0] = Brushes.Transparent //intcPlot_STOP_BUY=6

The indicator script also includes ShowTransparentPlotsInDataBox = true;

I don't know if this is the new normal, where the plot Names become transparent ?

Can you please let me know ?

Thank you

Hello rayko,

If the plot brush is being set on each individual bar instead of the entire plot, yes, the Data Box window is going to show that same color including transparent.

Is the goal to show the plot on some bars and not others?
