1. Lets say I want to show a few values on the graph. For example, looking at the top left of the chart, it will show the following: <Standard Graph/Study Name information> Bar Average: xx Current Bar Size: xx Time To Close: xx The text will persistently stay there, but the values will constantly update. What's the best way to do this? Is it just drawing Labels at predefined locations on the chart? 2. I want to create a dashboard that shows a grid of data, no charts or graphs. The data will constantly be updated. What's the recommended way to do this in SC? |

1, 2. We recommend using the Text Drawing Tool for this. Refer to the documentation here: Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study The best example will be to look at the Clock - RealTime study. Refer to: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/BuildCustomStudiesDLL.html#SearchingSourceCodeBuiltIn You can also use the numeric information graph functionality which is used by the Numbers Bars Calculated Values study. Refer to the scsf_NumericInformationGraphDrawTypeExample function. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.
