Chart/Indicator Suggestions

[moflaherty]

(1) See attached image. The idea is to create drawing groups that could be controlled by a single collection. You could think of this concept like groups in Visio or layers in Photoshop. When I am adding drawing objects to the chart, it would be nice to add them to a "group" and reference them by group name/id. That way, I could simply remove, dim, or hide a set of drawing objects by the group name and not have to maintain those collections myself.

(2) It would be nice to be able to add custom images to a chart (transparent PNGs.)

(3) I still think you should make the tag for a drawing object optional; there are many times that I want to throw something on the chart that I don't need to maintain, and you force me to generate a tag every time.

Thanks!

Concept Art

I wanted to mock this up to illustrate point #1. The idea is that we can create layers that we can assign drawing objects to. I would like to see this extend to the API so we can programmatically add and delete layers that show up in this same "pool" so they can be turned on or off.

Just a thought!

Thanks!
