>>

>> position at the formula execution time (or few
>> milliseconds before it) and accurracy is subject to
>> pixel resolution of the screen (first cursor

>> converted to actual value therefore for example when
>> screen resolution is 1024x768 maximum obtainable
>> resolution in X direction is 0.1% and in Y direction
>> 0.13%), also X values are snap to datetime of
>> nearest data bar.
>>
>> It only makes sense to use these functions in
>> indicator/interpretation code.
>>
>> Using them in AA window may yield random
>> values.GetCursorXPosition() function returns X
>> position in DateTime format (the same as used by
>> DateTime() function).You can convert it to string
>> using DateTimeToStr() function.GetCursorYPosition()
>> returns Y position (as displayed in Y axis of the
>> chart).
>>
>> Example:
>>
>>
>> ToolTip="X="+DateTimeToStr(GetCursorXPosition())
>> +"\nY="+GetCursorYPosition();

>> Example:

>> ToolTip="X="+DateTimeToStr(GetCursorXPosition())

>>
>> c.. Added ability to store charts as .GIF (in
>> addition to PNG)
>>
>>
>>
>> d.. ASCII importer maximum supported line length
>> is increased to 2048 characters
>>
>>
>>
>> e.. Fixed: .aflsafe files didn't get deleted
>> automatically
>>
>>
>>
>> f.. Added N-volume bars charts and timeframe
>> support.
>>
>> Custom N-volume bar intervals are definable (as
>> usual) in Tools->Preferences->Intraday.
>>
>> TimeFrame functions were also extended to support
>> N-volume bars using new TimeFrameMode() function
>> calling
>>
>> TimeFrameMode( 0 );
>>
>> - switches time frame functions to time-based
>> operation (the default)
>>
>> TimeFrameMode( 1 );
>>
>> - switches time frame functions to N-tick
>> operation (positive values passed to TimeFrameSet
>> are treated now as N-tick)
>>
>> TimeFrameMode( 2 );
>>
>> - switches time frame functions to N-volume bar
>> operation (positive values passed to TimeFrameSet
>> are treated nowas N-volme bars)
>>
>> Example:
>>
>> TimeFrameMode( 2 );
>> TimeFrameSet( 50000 ); // 50'000 share bars..
>> ...do something ...
>> TimeFrameRestore();
>>
>>
>> Note: N-volume bars are somewhat weird
>> (compression of data to N-volume bar may actually
>> deliver MORE output bars - for example if one tick
>> is 1000 shares and you have specified 100V bars then
>> single tick will be expanded to TEN 100V bars - ten
>> times original size)
>> TimeFrame functions are protected against array
>> overrun and will not decompress beyond original
>> array size (you will get an "Error 47. N-volume bar
>> compressed data longer than base time frame").
>> Also switching main time frame to some weird
>> N-volume bar value will result in limiting the
>> output to maximum twice original data size(without
>> error message).
>> You should keep that in mind and avoid using too
>> small N-volume bar intervals that could lead to such
>> condition.
>> Also due to the nature of N-volume bars the only
>> TimeFrameSet() function will yield correct N-volume
>> bar values, TimeFrameGetPrice() may give slightly
>> distorted results.
>> It is also possible to use n-volume bars in
>> TimeFrame functions without calling TimeFrameMode()
>> - it is then necessary to specify n-volume bars as
>> negative number offset by -1000000 (minus one
>> million):
>>
>> TimeFrameSet( -1000000 - 2000 );
>>
>> // gives 2000V barsSimilarly formatted negative
>> numbers will be reported by Interval() function when
>> n-volume bars are selected.
