Tomasz,
The new beta is great....but...when using the drag and drop and placing
indicators, etc...maybe you can have a way for the program to check if it is
running out of screen space at the title line and insert a Carriage return
to start the next line.?
Thank you
Anthony

> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.62.1 (as compared to 4.62.0)
>
> a.. new AFL function
> ParamStyle("name", default = styleLine, mask = maskDefault ) - allows to
> select the styles applied to plot
>
> b.. new constants:
> styleHidden - a combination of styleNoDraw | styleNoRescale
> styleDashed - dashed line
> to be used with ParamStyle
> maskDefault - show thick, dashed, hidden, own scale styles (this is
> default mask for ParamStyle)
> maskAll - show all style flags
> maskPrice - show thick, hidden, own scale, candle, bar
> maskHistogram - show histogram, thick, hidden, own scale, area
>
> c.. colorCycle - accepted only by ParamColor function as default value,
> causes that default color cycles through red, blue, green, turquoise,
> gold, violet, bright green, dark yellow
>
> d.. added new setting in Preferences->Charting "Ask for parameters of
> newly inserted indicators"
> (default = TRUE) ensures that AmiBroker displays parameter dialog when
> inserting or dropping new indicators
>
> e.. removed obsolete "max number of custom indicators" setting
>
> f.. Param() function accepts 6 parameters now
> Param("name", defvalue, min = 0, max = 100, step = 1, sincr = 0 );
> (Only for advanced users)
> a new parameter sincr is defines the increase of default value when more
> than one section of the same kind is inserted (dropped) onto the chart
> For example:
> Periods = Param("Periods", 15, 2, 200, 1, 10 );
> Plot( MA( P, Periods ), _DEFAULT_NAME(), ParamColor( "Color",
> colorCycle ), ParamStyle("Style") );
>
> now when more than one moving average is dropped onto the chart then
> subsequent moving averages default to 15, 25, 35, 45, ... and so on
> (starting value is 15, increase per new section is 10)
> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.62.0 (as compared to 4.61.0)
>
> a.. implemented indicator drag and drop mechanism. See video tutorial:
> http://www.amibroker.net/video/dragdrop1.html
> b.. new "Chart" tab in the workspace window (lists all AFL files and
> directories from "Formulas" subfolder)
> c.. Automatic Analysis formula window is now drag&drop target too (you
> can drag formulas and AFL files onto it)
> d.. new AFL special functions used to automatically create formulas from
> code snipplets dragged onto the the indicator pane.
> _SECTION_BEGIN, _SECTION_END, _SECTION_NAME, _DEFAULT_NAME, _PARAM_VALUES
> e.. new styleNoTitle causing that given Plot name and values are not
> included in the title bar of the indicator
> f.. new ParamField function allowing to pick price field
> g.. new ParamToggle function allowing for boolean (Yes/No) parameters
> h.. In Tools->Preferences , Keyboard you can how define single key
> shortcut for maximizing and restoring chart pane via View : PaneToggle
> i.. "Allow mixed EOD/intraday data" switch does not affect N-day bars
> anymore
> j.. Parameters are not reset to default values when changing the formula-
> user-edited values are kept
> k.. new parameters dialog allowing using sections (for example from
> drag&drop generated code)
> l.. parameters dialog displays the items in the order as they appear in
> the formula
> m.. fixed Y-axis scale shrinking problem occuring when styleOwnScale was
> used for all plots
>
> n.. Insert->Standard Charts, Insert->Custom Indicators menu options
> removed (now everything is handled by drag & drop) (You can still insert
> old indicators from Indicator Builder dialog though)
>
> CHANGES FOR VERSION 4.61.0 (as compared to 4.60.4)
>
> a.. custom time interval support extended to N-day bars.
>
> Now you can define N-day bars in Preferences (Intraday tab) as well as
> you can use N-day bars via TimeFrame functions. For example
> TimeFrameSet( 3 * inDaily ); // switch to 3-day time frame
>
> VERY IMPORTANT:
> inWeekly constant is now 432001 ( 5*inDaily + 1 ) - in previous version
> it was 432000
> inMonthly constant is now 2160001 ( 25*inDaily + 1 ) - in previous
> version it was 2160000
>
> It is changed because now N-day custom intervals are supported and they
> will interfere with weekly/monthly.
> Note that 5*inDaily is now DIFFERENT than inWeekly. 5*inDaily creates
> 5-day bars that DO NOT necesarily cover Monday-Friday
> while inWeekly ALWAYS creates bars that begin on Monday and end on
> Friday. Also 25*inDaily creates 25-day bars that DO NOT necesarily
> represent full month, while inMonthly always begins with first day of the
> month and ends at the last day of the month
>
> CAVEAT:
> if your code uses hard-coded numbers like 432000 for weekly and 2160000
> for monthly then you MUST change your code to use inWeekly constant and
> inMonthly constant instead.
>
>
> b.. Study properties dialog has now new checkbox
> "Lock position" - when checked study can not be moved or re-sized
>
> c.. ExitAtStop has a new meaning for N-BAR stop type.
> If ExitAtStop = 0 then N-bar stop has the lowest priority (so if for
> example profit target stop is hit on the same bar then profit target is
> evaluated first)
> If ExitAtStop = 1 then N-bar stop has highest priority and it is
> evaluated before all other stops.
> The same effect is obtained by checking "Has priority" box in AA Settings
> window.
>
>
> d.. new maximizing/restoring chart pane functionality available via:
> View->Pane->Maximize
> View->Pane->Restore
> as well as via right click menu.
>
> Remember that you can assign your own keyboard shortcuts for that using
> Tools->Preferences->Keyboard
>
> e.. New drawing tool: Arrow
> - draws a line that ends with an arrow
>
> f.. New drawing tool: zig-zag line
> draws a series of connected trend lines (Hint: press ESC key to finish
> the series)
>
> g.. new File functions in AFL:
>
> a.. fdelete( "filename" ) - deletes file
> "filename" is path to the file name (relative or full path).
> If just file name without path is specified then AmiBroker directory is
> used, returns TRUE if file successfully deleted, FALSE otherwise
>
> b.. fmkdir( "dirname" ) - creates (makes) a directory
> "dirname" specifies path of the directory to be created. Please note
> that this function creates only ONE directory at a time.
> So if you want to create nested directory tree you have to call it
> multiple times, for example to create C:\MyDirectory\MySubDirectory folder
> you have to call it twice:
>
> fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory" );
> fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory\\MySubDirectory" );
>
> Note also that it is safe to call it even if directory already exists
> (then no change to file system is applied)
> Returns TRUE if directory successfully created, FALSE otherwise
>
> c.. frmdir( "dirname" ) - removes a directory
> "dirname" specifies path of the directory to be removed. Please note
> that this function removes only ONE directory at a time.
> So if you want to remove nested directory tree you have to call it
> multiple times, for example:
>
> fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory\\MySubDirectory" ); // delete nested subdir
> first
> fmkdir( "C:\\MyDirectory" );
>
> Note that directory must be empty before removing it otherwise it will
> not be possible to remove it.
> Returns TRUE if directory successfully removed, FALSE otherwise
>
