Chart without price

Pepperdog · 12-08-2009, 08:47 PM

Sounds crazy, yes...

But, is there a way to create a chart that does NOT plot price on it? I just want to put some squiggly lines on it and that is it

. All kidding aside, yes, seriously. No price at all.

Thanks!

EDIT:

To clarify, I am aware that the price bar colors can be set to transparent so that price is not plotted. But what I am actually wanting to do is "scrunch" up a chart so that each day is just a few pixels wide. I've set the bar width and spacing to the minimum and it is still too wide. I can only scrunch up the chart so much, and it just isn't enough. The transparent price bars are locking a minimum scale and not letting me scrunch it more.

Pepperdog, unfortunately this is not supported - you would need to use the 'workaround' you edited in...

I believe there may be a way to accomplish what I am after by overriding the plot method. Can you verify that it is possible?

Pepperdog, you're correct - you could check into the CustomPlotSample installed per default for how to override the Plot method.
