plotting on chart and in sub graph?

[philli4093]

I am trying to plot lines and stops on the chart but at the same time plot a histo gram on a sub graph. The setPricestudy() function allows you to select which area to plot, but this causes all your lines, stops, text to be placed there--so there is no way to do above.

I am curious if anyone has accomplished this by calling another .efs file that has it's setpricestudy set to the alternate drawing area? I tried this and it just hung esignal
has anyone accomplished this?

I find this a major disappointment and hope esignal will add this capability soon.

philli4093,

One efs cannot output to both areas simultaneously. To accomplish what you want, you must start a second efs which has its output in histogram form, going to the formula output window. Done properly, this should work fine. Of course, as you found out, getting the "properly" thing straight is not always straightforward .

Please post your code, and either I or another user will try and assist.

The nice thing about the eSignal community is that there are always people willing to provide assistance. All too often though, people are so secretive regarding their code, it turns into a painful guessing game trying to troubleshoot simple problems. If you have purchased the code and it has a copyright with warnings not to distribute, please do not post. We can figure out an alternate method.

Thanks..

I really dont think this will work becuase the way call()
behaves at runtime is the execute for all bars.
So if I call it each bar for my main calling function it would be calling it numbars squared? That is too cpu intensive

Callfunction() seems to only call the function within another efs, so it would not be plotting data to a sub graph--unless I guess I told it too..

hmm..

how can I create a histogram on my own without using the normal plotting conventions for a histo gram..

Even if callFunction() is calling just the function the output pane is defined in the calling efs so you can plot to any subgraph.
