Re: [amibroker] Interpretation Window Plus Auto-Hide

Graham,
 
Hi.  I have so many string functions and title strings in my charts (especially my main chart) that the Interpretation window is virtually unreadable.  
 
The EnableTextOutput is the "Silver Bullet".   Works VERY nicely.  
 
The only downside is that you need to use a bit different coding technique for producting Interpretation window text.    It took about 20 minutes to figure out the idiosyncracies.  After that it was smooth sailing.
 
Regards,
 
Dan.

Ok, sorry I missed that, never needed to use the EnableTextOutput

That won't work when using the EnableTextOutput(False) function.  That is required to prevent extraneous title and other string variables from displaying.
 
If you don't use a Printf function, you don't get any output.  If you do use the printf function wrapped around your code, you get errors.
 
I think your code will work fine in a commentary window, though.

A simple to save a bit of coding unless really needed

You can write to the interpretation window without the printf
you can also include a blank line just using
"";
no need for \n in that blank line
printf( "FOR:  " + Date()

+ " "

+ "\n"

+ "\n"

+ "Close:            " + WriteVal (C, 2.2) 

should be able to be written as
"FOR:  " + Date()

+ " "

+ ""

+ ""

+ "Close:            " + WriteVal (C, 2.2)

Jason,

 

I'm not sure what you are asking.   Please explain further.

 

Regarding potential, I think it has lots of potential too.   But I'm just learning how to use it.

Dan.

Dan,

 

Did you program the text to read the way it does or is that the default setting?  I never use the text box but it looks like there is a lot of potential there that I have been ignoring.

I've always thought that the Interpretation Window or Commentary Window had potential.  But they had two problems IMO.   First, they took up too much room and I had to move them around to get them out of the way when I was through with them.   Second, I kept seeing Titles and other strings appear in the Interpretation window when I tried to use it.   It was very messy.

Then Tomasz introduced the Auto-Hide option for tabs, including the Interpretation window.   Problem one solved!

And, while at the Houston conference, Tomasz mentioned that the EnableTextOutput(FALSE) function cleans up unwanted titles and strings from the Interpretation window.    Problem two solved!

Now I can get detailed chart interpretation and information (like fundamental information) in the Interpretation window.   Then it auto-hides itself after a few seconds.    Detailed info + great screen utilization!

Attached is a screen shot of my Interpretation window (still a work in progress).

Dan.

p.s. Most of the original code was provided by NWTrader for the Commentary window.  I've just modified it for the Interpretation window and extended from there.
