Histograms

[abdunbar]

Hello,

I have an indicator, DPI, that is in the lower window on each of these charts. Metatrader and FT2. I set both charts to the same point in time so it would be apparant that the indicators are duplicates. This indicator draws a histogram between two buffers and I would like to use the HistogramFill option. The way I wrote this indicator was more difficult. I just used the normal Histogram functins with an extra two buffers to print black histograms to cover up the red and yellow.

Example code to use ds_HistogramFill please?

Next, the histogram thickness does not seem to be adjustable?

Finally, I would like to have default Gold Hisogram bars but my compiler, Lazarus with Delphi syntax does not accept "clGold." Is there another way to reference that color?



Thanks,
Archie

Hello Archie,

Sorry but we do not have an example of ds_HistogramFill usage. As far as I remember this buffer style was added by the request of a customer, we do not have indicators made by him.

Yes, histogram thickness cannot be adjusted.

Try this color:
clGold = TColor($327FCD);
