Control
<SPAN
>Steve: thanks for the
reply, which addresses one of my questions.
<SPAN
>
<SPAN
>However, I already
was using a small abbreviation for the header and when first started all of
the columns are the same narrow width. As I change things in the
formulas (but NOT in the AddColumn lines), and then run the Explore again and
again, the columns unexpectedly get WIDER.
<SPAN
>
<SPAN
>Why do they
arbitrarily get wider and what can I do to prevent them from changing in
width---esp when I have not done anything to cause them to
change?
<SPAN

<SPAN

aspect? Ever experienced it?

<SPAN
>Hi Ken,
<SPAN
>
<SPAN
>Column width is determined by the
width of the header. To make it wider, you can pad the header name with
spaces:
<SPAN
>
<SPAN
>addcolumn( array,
"
my wide
column
" );
<SPAN
>
<SPAN
>To make it thinner, you must
abbreviate the header.
<SPAN
>
<SPAN
>Sometimes, if you change the order
of the columns somehow, the width wont fit anymore. You can reset them by
cicking scan, then explore again - this will reset the width to match the
current column headers.
<SPAN
>
<SPAN
>Addcolumn will accept a variable
for the name, but the variable must have a string assigned to it or you will
get an error message.

[amibroker] Column Width Control
<SPAN
>
<SPAN
>All:
Is there any way to control the width of columns using AddColumn in Explore
mode. I have experimented with the format suggested in the help file
of
<SPAN
>AddColumn(variable,"-13",5.0);
<SPAN
>Where the 5.0 is said to "pad"
in 5 spaces.
<SPAN
>However, nothing changes even if
I change 5 to 20.
<SPAN
>The second observation about
this AA display is that the first time I run the code, the column widths are
narrow and seemingly the most narrow given the data they
hold.
<SPAN
>Each time I run the code after
some change unrelated to the AddColumn statements, the column width grows
mysteriously, up to some maximum. (see below) Needless to say, this
spreads out the width of the entire display.
<SPAN
>May I ask if the following two
adjustments are possible:
<SPAN
>Direct control over column
width.
<SPAN
>Putting a variable in the column
HEADING (such as a date that changes) vs just text.
<SPAN
>A picture of what I am trying to
use is shown below. Notice the various widths which occur
randomly.
<SPAN
>Any comments?
<SPAN
>Ken
