Perplexing PaintBar

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I'm wondering if it is possible to have more than one colour in the Same PaintBar?

 

Eg. low to close red, high to close green.

 

I have scrutinized my EL literature (reference guides, getting started, EL essentials etc) but alas have found no mention of it. A Google search has also draw a blank.

 

Many thanks

Hi Tams,

 

Thanks for your speedy reply :)

 

How would that look in code format?

 


PlotPB(high,close,"bears",Red);
plotPB(low,close,"bulls",Green); 

 

Is this correct? I was messing around with different PB statements which I keep a log of

using a txt. document, this way I can see how the code develops, and make I make a note of what the changes do. I pretty sure that the code sample above gave me bars of all the same colour (whichever PB statement is declared last).

 

I've also tried compiling the two statements as separate codes and running them together, but the colour becomes whichever is the last one i apply to my chart! :bang head:

 

Thanks

no, you have to define the plots individually.

 

eg.

plot10( High, "High", green);  // set plot style to Bar High
plot11( Close, "Close", green);  // set plot style to Bar Low

plot12( Close, "Close", red);  // set plot style to Bar High
plot13( Low, "Low", red);  // set plot style to Bar Low
