Lightbulb Data Box showing Drawing Objects values?

Hi,

It would be nice to get an enhancement which would enable users to visualise trendline values in the Data Box. Ideally, when there are many drawings/annotations users would be allowed to choose which of their Drawing Objects they are interested to see in the Data Box.

Probably not an issue of life or death, but a useful enhancement nonetheless

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

Returning to this issue/suggestion, is it possible to customise the level of info that one can load on the Data Box? Assume, for instance, I have a NinjaScript that generates several data series but that I do not want to plot all of them. Would it still be possible to get this non-plotted info loaded in the Data Box? Do you have any examples of NinjaScript on this regard I can look at?

Thanks again,

Stopped

Hello,

Unfortunately this is currently not possible to display data in the databox that is not plots. You could set the plots color to transparent though is an idea to get data in here.

Another idea, You may want to look into this example however, would be unsupported but its what another user has done to output other data in another form on the chart bar itself.

http://www.volumedigger.com/NinjaTra...dsDataBox.aspx

Or use DrawTextFixed() to output this data on the chart.

However data displayed in the databox directly is for plots only.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Brett,

Thanks for the advice. I tried the Transparent thing but did not seem to work - although setting the color to match the one of the chart background does. The other suggestions are good given the current limitations.
