Display integer value in DataBox

[doron]

hi

I want to display information per each bar in chart.
I want this information to be displayed in the DataBox.

I succeeded to do it , using AddPlot , transparent color and ShowTransparentPlotsInDataBox = true;

However the information is displayed as decimal numbers .
how I convert the display format to integer ?

if it can not be done - please consider this as development request

Like this?

What kind of # are you plotting? Something with decimals?

Have you tried rounding your #s? Math.Round?

I'm using doubles and have no problem displaying as integers in the databox...

That was a tricky one. Doesn't make sense.

I changed from Transparent to a colored line, and everything was in 999.00.

I commented out :

//ShowTransparentPlotsInDataBox = true;

Hey, it's in whole #s!!

I then changed back to Brushes.Transparent.

Nothing in the databox now!!! grrr

I put the line back in:

              ShowTransparentPlotsInDataBox = true;

And now it shows in the databox and isn't in 999.00, but whole #s.

What the heck!?!!

I also switched to Values[][] instead.. but I don't think that made a difference - as it was doing it before.

                AddPlot(Brushes.Transparent, "Vol1");
                AddPlot(Brushes.Transparent, "Vol2");
                ShowTransparentPlotsInDataBox = true;

        Values[0][0] = Volume[0];
	Values[1][0] = 0;

I definitely would support a way to use whole numbers when appropriate.

I'm going to restart my NT8 and see if anything resets.

My indicator has never had a problem, although I'm plotting lines that aren't transparent.

Upon restarting

If you set this to false it works better....

IsOverlay							= false;

Then after it is on the new panel override it back to the main one.

So it appears there is a bug or inconsistency some where in NT8.

Hello doron,

Thanks for you post.

You can use the FormatPriceMarker() to accomplish this.

suppose the indicator plots in databox two variables. how you assign to each variable a different format ?
