Ton,

 

This "replacing of the code" is done on the fly by the compiler. It doesn't change your AFL that you see, but you can be sure the compiled version "acts" as if the #include line was simply replaced by the code in the include file. It has the effect you wish, re-useable code, but it is executed inline unless the include code itself is a function which never executes unless it is specifically called.

Terry I assume that you mean 'it includes a copy of the include file on runtime'. So during interpretation of the AFL code. It will of course not replace the #Include line with the include file in the AFL code. First because that's not what it does in my AB version and second because you will give up the Include advantage. Includes for me are code that can be used in sereval programs and where you can modify the Include without going through all programs that use the Include code. So the re-using principle ...

You are confusing #include with functions in other programs.

 

All an include does is COPY the lines of code from the include file and INSERTS them into your code IN PLACE OF the #include line.

 

It is EXACTLY THE SAME as if you just typed those lines in your code.

 

Amibroker does have function calls. In the second example I gave, the include was coded as a function call. Thus this include WOULD have to be place near the top of your code since the function must be "seen" before it is "called". Any, yes, this function will never do anything unless and until you call it. However, the first version as noted above is just inline code and it gets executed as if you had typed in there in the first place.

Terry thanks. Some remarks and questions about the use of includes.

 

1. When entering an include in the code it does not mean that you are calling the function. The link for the external function when running the code is available. That's all. Therefore I still do not understand why it should not be called in your code.

 

2. In most languages I know, you must place the includes as the first line in the code. You have placed the include as the last line. Can I place includes in AFL where ever I want to place them ?

 

Ton.

All this does is change the background color of the chart. The first version IS used because it does not need to be "called" to work since it is not a function.

 

For those that don't realize what an Include file is: It simple INSERTS the include code in place of the #include line. It is the SAME as you typing the code inline and it just a convenience to a) make your code easier to read, b) save you time in re-writing code you frequently use. An #include is NOT a function, unless you design it as such as in my second example.

Thanks. Question of course is why entering the code because you did not use it in your code anyway ?

Didn't realize that was in there. I made it. It's very short and used as a convenience.

 

//One version

    BkgColor = ColorHSB( Param("Hue", 75, 0, 240 ),

    Param( "Saturation", 50, 0, 240 ),

    Param("Brightness", 200, 0, 240 ));

    SetChartBkColor( BkgColor );

 

//Another version as a function you can call

function SetBackColor( HUE, SAT, BRI )

{

    if (Version(0) >= 4.75)

    {

        BkgColor = ColorHSB(

            Param("Hue", HUE, 0, 240 ),

            Param( "Saturation", SAT, 0, 240 ),

            Param("Brightness", BRI, 0, 240 ));

        SetChartBkColor( BkgColor );

    }

}
