Hi Conrad,
If you write your own plugin and wish to ensure that the database setting (file-database settings-default time interval) is what yu expect, just disable your plugin to support any other database setting other than the one you want your user to use.
To paint information on the chart based on some base time interval, you can use the TimeFrameSet function, which provides the ability to switch to a different base interval for some calculation:

Am I correct that I would therefore need to require that the user set their chart settings to base intervals that my plugin is requiring? It would seem so right?

I suppose one could require the settings to be set for a given plugin, except that different scripts/plugins may require different settings. That means multiple instances of AB in order to satisfy such a condition. I think ideally these should be settings on a par chart window level, right? Maybe I'll offer that up as a suggestion.

Don't most charting apps use the convention of even hours? So that each bar is on an even hour interval? Isn't that pretty much standard convention or is there an option to change this in AmiBroker?
