Post From: Programmatically drawing volume profile tool drawings

First - If SC prefers this to be moved to a new thread, np. Also, I am interested of others needs/use of VPs - How much of a VP do you need? I'm not looking for any secrets, just trying to see if there is any commonality of need or use.

I am starting an effort to programmatically create a volume profile using ACSIL based on definable conditions. I do understand the way it is implemented, but suggest there be a separate tool created I was thinking of a stripped down version of the current Volume Profile study. It could be a development effort, I have no idea the size, to --> clone -> strip or comment code sections -> then reuse remains to fit into template of your tools. I'm not sure what others capabilities of the VP others use, but here are mine, which are minimal
- Basic Profile, with ability to extent until intersected for top/bottom of profile, top/bottom of Value Area, and POC
- the ability to expand visual wider right than # of bars used for creating VP
-- It would be really great, if the user could extend or cut the visual, similar to how other tools do.
- the usual transparency & line control-color & width
Here are the things I miss by having to use the current implementation.
- Ability to directly change 'stuff' like other tools - current is to bring up a study edit window
- Ability to 'share' instances on other charts as I do with other tools
- Ability to easily delete an instance - other tools - left click , then right double click
- Ability to edit anchors or other attributes when clicked on in the tools Mgr window.
-- Yes, I can drag the object to change the # of bars used in VP.
-- I can delete VPs there, but not actions I can do with other tools listed in the window.

Thanks for your time to all willing to contribute.
