Coding default plot style type

Postby Spaceant » 05 Oct 2010

This may appear to be a trivial question:

Is it possible to code the default plot sytle type of an indicator?... e.g. line, histogram, etc....

I can't find it in the help manual.....

Dear Spaceant,

It cannot be coded. Every plot should have the same style from beginning to end.

Dave,

You may misunderstand it. I don't want to code to change different styles while plotting the indicator.

The normal way is to change or set the style type of plot of an indicator in under the Format Study / Style.

What I want is to set the "default" style type plot inside the code, if possible, for an indicator.

Dear Spaceant,

Unfortunately, it is not possible. You cannot do it in the code.

Is this still not possible? It would be great to have a `SetPlotStyle()` PowerLanguage keyword.

Honeslty it's 2020 and such a simple feature it's not available... Can't believe it. :( :( :(
