Is there any possibility to tone color (like GradientColor) of the plot when I zoom (Increase bar spacing) the chart-window ?

You could try something like that:

Code: Select all


vars: barcolor ( 0 );





Switch(getappinfo(aibarspacing)) begin

	case < 6: 	barcolor  = red; 

	case < 8:	barcolor  = magenta;  

	case < 10: 	barcolor  = yellow;

	case < 15: 	barcolor  = cyan; 

	case >= 15: 	barcolor  = green; 

end;

	

Plot1 ( 1 , "", barcolor  ,barcolor  );

SP , your solution was brilliant!
Tried to get the whole plot to change color , but without success.
The idea was to zoom in and when to see a more sensitive indicator ( hidden in the normal mode ).

For changing the color in the past add a loop, i.e.:

Code: Select all








vars: intrabarpersist barcolor ( 0 );



Once barcolor = red;





Switch(getappinfo(aibarspacing)) begin

	case < 6: 	barcolor  = red; 

	case < 8:	barcolor  = magenta;  

	case < 10: 	barcolor  = yellow;

	case < 15: 	barcolor  = cyan; 

	case >= 15: 	barcolor  = green; 

end;

	

Plot1 ( RSI (close,14) , "", barcolor  ,barcolor  );



for value1 = 1 to currentbar

begin

	SetPlotColor [value1](1,barcolor);

end;

You only need to add some lines into your code to prevent that the color change is calculated at each tick.

Thanks SP, you are a star!
Everything works as I wanted.

Code: Select all


Vars: intrabarpersist barcolor(0);



Once barcolor = red;



{------------------ Switch Plot Color ------------------}

Switch(getappinfo(aibarspacing)) begin

   case < 0.10:     barcolor = white; 

   case < 0.40:     barcolor = magenta;

   case < 0.70:     barcolor = yellow;

   case < 1:        barcolor = cyan; 

   case >= 1:       barcolor = green;

end;

{---------------- End Switch Plot Color ---------------}



Plot1 (RSI(close,14),"testRSI",barcolor,barcolor);



{------------------ Set Plot Color --------------------}

if (barColor <> barColor[1]) then

begin	

  for value1 = 1 to currentbar

    begin

      SetPlotColor[value1](1,barcolor);

      Print("SetPlotColor");

    end;

end;

{----------------- End Set Plot Color -----------------}
