> Not being able to draw lines (i.e. anything other than horizontal) a la WLab,
What are you taking about??????????????????????????
You can draw lines, circles, polygons EVERYTHING ! http://www.amibroker.com/guide/a_lowlevelgfx.html
As for line drawing:
http://www.amibroker.com/f?gfxlineto (Y-value pixel based)
http://www.amibroker.com/f?linearray (Y-value price based)
> and I miss being able to alter the the background colour on a per bar basis.
Again what ???????????????????????????
Here it is - every bar color change in - actually 24 bit palette every bar different color !
Plot( Close, "Price", colorBlack, styleCandle );
BkCOlor = ColorRGB( BarIndex() % 255, BarIndex()/255 % 255, 255 - BarIndex() % 255 );
Plot( 1, "", BkColor, styleArea | styleOwnScale | styleNoLabel, 0, 1 )
(This is one of many possible ways, the other way is using low-level gfx).
I suggest you first read the User's Guide, it will open your eyes !
