Indicator height

[traderpards]

Good morning,

I have developed an indicator that is pretty much just a bar (which is a block plot) that runs across the bottom of the panel, that changes colors with changing conditions. The height of the bars defaults to15; that is, I set the plot width to 15. All is well with the indicator itself, however, when it draws itself, there is way too much wasted space between the top of the bar and the top of the indicator panel.

How do I resize the height of the indicator panel to the minimum that the bar would need to be visible. In other words, it the height of the indicator panel is 50, how do I make it 16?

Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

You can override the OnCalculateMinMax() function to set the minimum and maximum of your indicator panel.

There is a good example of its use in the help guide here:

If we may be of any further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks Chris, that definitely made an improvement. It let me center the plot inside the indicator so it doesn't look as bad. But I'd also like to resize the whole panel. There is now just as much wasted space but it's spread out to above and below the block plot, not just above it.

Is there a way to set the height of the panel?

Hello,

Thank you for the follow-up.

Unfortunately, there is no way to programmatically change the size of a panel.
