16 = Renko,

17 = Line Break,

18 = Heikin Ashi.

Example

Assign a value, indicating the resolution units of the data series that the study is applied to, to the Value1 variable:

Value1 = BarType_ex;

Print a message when the user uses a volume chart":

if BarType_ex = 8 then
  Print("This is a volume chart.");
