I think that's the problem with the current implementation TJ. Mostly
you don't want to change the symbol... you just want to get back to
the default number of bars. You certainly don't want to have to change
the symbol, and then back to the symbol you really want to look it,
just to get the default number of bars to the RHS of chart back...

I have much praise and also some other feedback from my first hour of
use and adding the new AFL features to my program already.

still have to break my plotting routines from my modular function
generation code. With 10 layers above and below, I could have enough
layers to make my functions truly modular.

SOLID, with default fill color being a blend between background and

plots) by default

what you mean by blend between the background. I changed chart
background colors and it did not change the color of the oval I was

background when you create the object only and does not change it
dynamically after that.

bars to a blank chart and am lost in white space.
