drawShapeRelative

[mitboy]

hey guys,
I am trying to code a little non-price pane indicator using just dots in a flat line. But I can't seem to get it to work - only the last series appears. I thought I was controlling the "y-value" but there is no scale appearing...?

Also the "shapes" are appearing like little blobs - can I control their size (=thickness?)

Any help greatly appreciated -
here is the sample code:

var Symbol = null;
var Interval = null;

function main() {


if(Symbol == null) Symbol = getSymbol();
if(Interval == null) Interval = getInterval();
var vSymbol = Symbol+","+Interval;


if (rsi(14,close(sym(vSymbol)))>=50){
drawShapeRelative( 0, 1, Shape.CIRCLE, null, Color.lime, Shape.TOP);
}
else drawShapeRelative( 0, 1, Shape.CIRCLE, null, Color.red, Shape.TOP);

if (rsi(34,close(sym(vSymbol)))>=60){
drawShapeRelative( 0, 2, Shape.CIRCLE, null, Color.lime, Shape.TOP);
}
else drawShapeRelative( 0, 2, Shape.CIRCLE, null, Color.red, Shape.TOP);


}

mitboy,

Try the following. Outside of main add a line:
var tag = 0;

Then change all your drawShapeRelative calls by adding tag++ after the Shape.TOP parameter. For example:
drawShapeRelative( 0, 1, Shape.CIRCLE, null, Color.lime, Shape.TOP, tag++);

This will assign a unique tag number to each circle. If you don't include this it will assign null as the tag, and when you draw another shape with a null tag it assumes you want to erase the first one. That's why you only saw the last series being drawn.

You should also see a scale with this change. You didn't see a scale before since you were only displaying a single line.

The circle size is controlled by the chart bar spacing. Increase the chart bar spacing using the eSignal toolbar and you will get larger circles.
