Hello SC Team,

Have few questions mainly related to sub-graphs and appreciate if you can clarify/provide guidance.

Question 1 - Would you please let me know what is the ACSIL member for Shortname field?
Wanted to keep "subgraph.Name" for long name and wanted to see if there is any way to define the shortname in ACSIL.

Question 2 - DrawStyle - Can this be defined conditionally (different styles for the same subgraph) - different sections of the program. At present the following would defaults to "DOT". Wondering if there is any trick to get the desired result. Though technically can use different sub-graphs, wanted to see if there is any trick to get this done with single subgraph.


// This defaults to LINESTYLE_DOT - for entire chart instead of desired line style
sg.LineStyle =(sc.Index < 100)?LINESTYLE_DASH:LINESTYLE_DOT;



Question 3 - is it possible to control whether the following parameters can be turned off/on dynamically ( one way would be mark the color as transparent but just wanted to turn off the label/value dynamically - something like - LL_NO_DISPLAY_VALUE/NAME like that or alternately if there is a way to change the color of label/value alone rather than sub-graph - that also would work.

LL_DISPLAY_VALUE
LL_DISPLAY_NAME

Question 4 - Would like to use Display Label & Values alone for a sub-graph but doesn't want to have the sub-graph actually drawn. In the display type - I haven't found any such option. If I can make the sub-graph color as background color, I can't see label/Values displayed as they also change the color to background. Any Trick to get this done? Just wanted the very last value/label for sub-graph displayed on the chart. Please suggest how to do it using sub-graph or any other way to do it using sc.UseTool method.

Thanks

4. We will add a new Draw Style to draw Subgraph Name and Value labels only.

Thanks SC Team. It's great.

On same note - If it is not much an effort:
- Would you please see if you can add this functionality to Horizontal Line/Ray Tool ( label on the Right edge of the chart & Value highlighted(Centered) on the price ). At present Horizontal line tool doesn't allow Text to be centered vertically.

- Related to The study "scsf_PreviousCloseLine" on DOM - where it would label/highlight a price, would you please allow any custom studies just to label/highlight the prices(rounded to Tick would be taken care in the study itself)? Or if you don't want to allow NEW studies(to highlight labels/values) to be available for DOM - Can you make a editable custom study that can be used for this purpose?

Thanks
