Redraw Chart, for heavy process.
25 Mar 2015, 08:16


When working with indicators that have heavy processing, it would be handy to be able to call a Redraw so progress can be updated on screen.
Users can either call the redraw after a certain amount of iterations or fire it with a timer, updating a progress Text item or chart on screen.
This would be preferable to event log spam or a blank chart.

This could also be part of the solution to cbots drawing indicators.
Something like
MyIndicator.Draw();
or
MyIndicator.Hide();
to disable it.
Draw could be immediate and allow data to be shown before the process at hand is finished.

Bump for an indicatorDataSeries .Hide .Show .Redraw feature that is callable from cBots!
(eg, myIndicator.Result.Redraw(), would cause an immediate draw of the dataSeries regardless as to whether the calculate/ontick/newbar has finished)
