Displaying cursor labels only, without plotting a line?

[Axiom]

I have been trying to draw cursor labels without having to draw the associated line, I’ve tried setting setdefaultbarthickness to 0 or null, I’ve also looked for something like “invisible” in setplottype, et cetera, but I have been unable to figure out how to do this, any help would be appreciated.

Axiom
You have two solutions to display the label in the Cursor Window without plotting the returned item.
One is to simply convert to a string the item you are returning in your script. EFS will not plot a string but will return its value to the Cursor Window.
The other solution (available starting from version 10.1) is to use the setShowSeries() function (see the link to the EFS KnowledgeBase article for the description and syntax)

the simple solution is to convert your return values to a string..

return new Array(""+val1, ""+val2, ""+val3);
