PlotXX - Plotting values from an array in a loop?

lantama · Postby **lantama** » 16 Mar 2010

Hi, I have an Indicator with an array M of stop levels. I want to plot them in the chart. One way would be:

If M=1 then Plot1(LongStop[M],"Long 1");
If M=2 then Plot2(LongStop[M],"Long 2");
If M=3 then Plot3(LongStop[M],"Long 3");
etc...

However, more easy & smooth would be something like......

For M=1 to MAXNUMBER begin
Plot[M](LongStop[M],"Long "NumtoStr(M,0));
end;

..but this is not working and i found no other way...

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
lantama

this will work not plot.
the number behind the "plot" is not a variable.

For M=1 to MAXNUMBER begin
Plot[M](LongStop[M],"Long "NumtoStr(M,0));
end;

Hi TJ
Yes, I know. But is there a solution?

each plot statement can only draw ONE point on the same bar.

if you want multiple points, you have to make multiple plot statements.

a loop can get a plot statement to draw multiple points on multiple bars,
but not multiple points on the same bar.

I use arrays and TL, maybe you can adapt it for your code.

Code: Select all

inputs: History (false);

vars: count (0);

arrays:TLLongStop_Array[6](0) ;{Single Dimension Dynamic Array}



		

FOR count = 5 DOWNTO 0

	BEGIN

		if TLLongStop_Array[count  ] >= 0 then                                 

			BEGIN

				condition1 = History;

				if condition1 then 

			           BEGIN

				       TL_SetEnd( TLLongStop_Array[count  ] , Date, Time, TL_GetValue( TLLongStop_Array[count  ] , Date, Time ) ) ;

				       TL_SetExtRight( TLLongStop_Array[count  ] , False ) ;

				   END

							else if History = False then TL_Delete( TLLongStop_Array[count  ] ) ;

			END ;

		                                                                        

							TLLongStop_Array[count  ] = TL_New_s(MYDATE[count  ],MYtime[count  ],LongStop[count  ],Date,Time_s,LongStop[count  ]);

		

						

							TL_SetColor	(TLLongStop_Array[count ],HiColor); 							 

							TL_SetStyle	(TLLongStop_Array[count  ],HiLoLineStyle);

							TL_SetExtLeft	(TLLongStop_Array[count  ],False);

							TL_SetExtRight  (TLLongStop_Array[count  ],False );

							TL_SetSize	(TLLongStop_Array[count  ],4);

	END;	//count

I am also trying to do that.
I have a dynamic array with N lines to plot.

I cannot use the same "plotX" for all of them, so I wonder if there's a way to call another one for each iteration, and this inside the loop.

sort of :

Code: Select all


Variables : i(0),MaxIndex(0),strTemp("");

Array: MyArray[](0);



....



For i=0 to MaxIndex

begin

     strTemp = "Plot" + NumToStr(i,0);

     .... and then execute the function strTemp to plot MyArray(i)

end;

I used to develop with a language that can do that. So maybe there's a similar way to do that? or any way at all?

Thanks a lot
