Steve, thanks for your great suggestions. I am
short on time, so I tried this Plot(Null, suggestion, and it
caused the vertical height of the existing plot lines to shrink.
I then substituted a value of "0" in place of
Null, and there was no change.
Plot( Null, " CHART NAME", colorDefault,
styleNoLine|styleNoLabel|styleNoTitleValue );
==============================
Later, when I have more time, I will try your
suggestion shown below.
Title = EncodeColor(
colorRed ) + "Open " + YestOpen + " " + Open
+ EncodeColor(
colorGreen ) + " Close " + YestClose + " " +
Close
+ EncodeColor(
colorBlack ) +
"
CHART NAME"
+ "\n" +
EncodeColor( colorWhite ) + "Here is example of starting new
line"
+ "\n" + NumToStr(
Close, 1.1 ) "plus example of controlling decimal places";
A year or so ago, I was able to sucessfully use Encode Color to control
colors.
The final result that I want to show at the top of the chart
will look something like what I am showing below.
MyChosenChartName Rd=12 Wh=27
Bu=19 Gn=55 Yl=27
rRd=10
rWh=20 rBu=10 rGn=50
rYl=20
Rd refers to the red line, and rRd refers to the Ref(Rd,-1) line.
Thanks again for your excellent suggestions. Ron D

Hi Ron - I think maybe you have 3
options:
1. Simplest, doesn't require a title -
Move chart name from right to left side by including it in the 1st Plot
statement:
Plot( Ind1, "CHART NAME Ind
Name", colorRed, styleLine );
2. Quick fix - You can use the Plot function to
add text anywhere in the title, but AB will append a value to
it:
Plot ( Ind1...
Plot ( Ind2...
Plot( Null,
"
CHART NAME", colorDefault, styleNoLine|styleNoLabel );
Come to think of it, it would be quite handy to
have something like StyleNoTitleValue so AB won't append the value,
then we could just write
Plot( Null, " CHART NAME", colorDefault,
styleNoLine|styleNoLabel|styleNoTitleValue );
It is much easier than writing a huge title
- maybe I will suggest it! 8 - )
3. Construct a Title containing the names and
values from all Plot statements, along with whatever else you want to add.
It is really just a matter of
1) combining text and numerical
values in the order you want
2) using spaces and newlines to
position them where you want, and
3) using EncodeColor() to color each
part to match your plots.
I find it helpful to line up the parts of the
title in my AFL. Here is an example using built-in price
arrays:
YestOpen = ref( Open, -1 );
YestClose = ref( Close, -1 );
Plot( Open, "Open", colorRed );
Plot Close, "Close", colorGreen );
Title = EncodeColor( colorRed )
+ "Open " + YestOpen
+ " " + Open
+ EncodeColor(
colorGreen ) + " Close " + YestClose + " " +
Close
+ EncodeColor(
colorBlack ) +
"
CHART NAME"
+ "\n" +
EncodeColor( colorWhite ) + "Here is example of starting new
line"
+ "\n" +
NumToStr( Close, 1.1 ) "plus example of controlling decimal
places";
Well, I haven't tested it so I hope it
works! 8 - ) Good luck!
Steve

I feel very comfortable using the actual
AFL language that TJ has so masterfully constructed.
However, my training as a programmer
consists of one semester of using Punch cards to program
a heat flow equation in Fortran in about 1962.
I am aware that if I comment out the Title name,
then I can view all of the current values at the top of the
chart, but I can no longer see the name that I have chosen for the custom
indicator.
I have saved many of the Title posts made by this
Yahoo group, but I am unable to modify any of them to perform as I
want.
I would really like to be able to see the
current values of my six plot lines displayed at the top of the
chart as well as all of the REF(values,-1) displayed to the
immediate left side of the current values.
Additionally, at the extreme right side
of the title line, I also want to see the name that I have chosen fot
this Custom indicator.
I will sure appreciate it a member of this
Amibroker user group could supply me with a completed code that
will do what I have described above.
Reading the descriptions in the user manual has
rarely helped.
Virtually all of my learning has come come from
reading the posts of this user
group, and then experimenting with a functioning code that was posted.
Later,Ron D
