RE: CL_Re:Need More Plot Statements? --Here They Are

["Philippe Lhermie" <philippe.lhermie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks wayne,

And as you show it in your code, TL_SetStyle(TL, 1) and TL_SetColor(TL,
blue) do not need to be stored into a Variable unless you have to refer to
the value returned later.
Although all the examples written in Omega's EasyLanguage Reference Book use
Value1, Value2,...Value99!

Rgds,

Phil

Hi Phil

The code needs to execute on each bar and "if 2=2 then begin" will cause
that to happen. To omit every bar, "if false ...then plot1()" can be
used (e.g. in the function autoTL used to satisfy the requirement (in TS
4) that every indicator must have a plot statement ), but no plot1 ever
occurs due to false never being true.

I first included the "if ...end" because I understood from A. Putt’s
book and other sources that the TL_New() function must be controlled by
an "if" statement. This turns out not to be true, at least in the cases
I have tried.  As Pierre Orphelin says, "try it, if it works it works".
I just re-posted the code without the "if...end" statement.

 I just realized, in responding to your query, that for this code to
work in TS 4 there must be a plot statement. If there is not a
plotx(y,"") in the indicator being used, then include the following with
the TL_New code package:

If 2=3 then plot1(c,"");	{not needed in TS 2K}
