Suppress the Displaying of a Plot

[Jim-Boulder]

I have build an indicator with multiple plots. Is it possible to designate the plots so that I can specify whether to display them on a chart? In other words, display only 1 (or any number less than 'all') the plots?

For example, if this was possible in the MACD indicator, this would enable me to only display the 'macd' line or the 'diff' bar on the chart, or any combination of the available plots.

You could achieve that by assigned the color Transparent to a plot.

thanks. I knew this was a way to achive the visual effect. But I have a problem using it in the case where one plot is in the range of 1-10 and the other plots are in the range of 300+....I can't find a way to get the scale to adjust to the range of the smaller number--and ignore the range of the higher number....

Thanks for clarification. Unfortunately this is not supported at this time. We'll add it to the list of future considerations.

Curious: why would you make it a plot and not just a local DataSeries?

[Jim-Boulder]

In this case I am testing some new metrics and want to see them on the chart just to make my investigation/analysis quicker....and in this case a few of the other plots are channel lines (thus are in the range of the price of the instrument) while the metric in question is really a flag of 1 or 0 and I was debugging/analyzing...


If I made it a local data series I couldn't plot it, right?

To make me understand: you would want to plot but not to autoscale, correct?

[Jim-Boulder]

Yes, plot in it's own 'panel' (not on Panel 1)--and not auto scale so I could see the plots of the plot line that is in the range of 0-1 and not scale to the other plots in the indicator---

The longer term interest would be to be able to designate which of the plots to display which would resolve this specific issue as well as provide functionality that would be useful on a variety of indicators.
