Thomas,
I tried it. You are correct.
Apparently SetChartBackColor requires a
numeric and the function delivers an array (I do get an error to that effect).
That's what I get for
"assuming" J
Thanks for clarifying!

Background Color Question
Hello Terry,
try it out, it
doesn’t work with Setchartbkcolor.
It gives no
error but it plots the same background over the whole period.

Thomas
changed techniques on you, plotting an area background instead of using the new
function, which works of course.
Another problem in your original formula:
Color = IIf(winterblock(),
SetChartBkColor(colorYellow), colorRed);
Should be:
Color = IIf(winterblock(),
SetChartBkColor(colorYellow), SetChartBkColor(colorRed));

Hi Axle,
you have used AND for every month instead
OR.
However it seems that setchartbackground
doesn’t work on bar by bar basis.
I have changed the code, see below.
function winterblock()
{
Winter = Month() == 1 OR
Month() == 2 OR
Month() == 3 OR
Month()
== 11 OR
Month() == 12;
return Winter;
}
Plot(1,"",IIf(winterblock(),colorYellow,colorRed),styleArea|styleOwnScale|styleNoTitle|styleNoLabel,0,1);
Regards

Thomas,
Thanks for the suggestion but I am
definitely doing something wrong
since the whoile background colors yellow
for me in the beow code. ANy
suggestions appreciated.
function winterblock()
{
Winter = Month()
== 1 AND Month() == 2 AND Month() == 3 AND Month()
== 11 AND Month() == 12;
return Winter;
}
Color = IIf(winterblock(), SetChartBkColor(colorYellow),
colorRed);
