Thomas,
> Yes, it's easy, take a look:
What's not easy is getting Marcin and Tomasz to realize that you
still cannot independently outline the colored candles (e.g., in
black) to make them stand out better from the background chart
color.
I refer you to (my) Issue #36 on the Amibroker website. Look at
the side-by-side pic associated with that report. You can try
flipping between:
1. Body outline and shadows
2. Body outline only
3. Shadows only
4. None, up candle solid
5. None, up candle hollow
And nothing will allow you to outline user-specified candle colors
while still maintaining the solid body colors you programmed in for
each specific candle.
But Tomasz is the boss. If he wants to believe that what I reported
can be done in Amibroker, then, when I clearly show that you cannot,
there's nothing else I can do but drop the issue and live with it.
Tomasz is super busy with more important issues that some of these
little things that make charts pleasing to the eye wind up getting
thrown to the wayside.
[I'll bet its a trivial amount of C++ code to fix this issue.]
Steve
P.S. Tomasz constructively criticised a poster in this forum for not
being able to be more specific (in comparing Ensign charts with
Amibroker)when he said that "Amibroker charts don't seem as 'crisp'
as Ensign's". Well, what I'm talking about here is a specific
example of how a detail like this makes your charts look
more "crisp". Look at those side-by-side eSignal/Amibroker pics I
posted with that Issue #36. The left one is "crisp". The right one
blends too much with the background color I like to have on my
charts.
