Fixing indicator graphics jaggedness

Moving averages look more jagged (compared to other charting programs), like old school computer graphics. I'm wondering if there's a way to make them smoother? I'm talking only about the graphics, nothing about making a "smooth moving average".. just the lines it draws looks really rough. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-12-20 06:20:39

You need to use a higher resolution monitor, assuming that would help. Anyway, this is not any kind of question we can reasonably answer. What you see is accurately drawn.

Suggestion : what about using GDI+ for drawing lines only? It would enable some nice smoothing. Of course you keep GDI for all the rest, because it will be much faster, but all lines in movering averages would look nicer (in my opinion)if they were more smooth. Here's a comparison of lines drawn in Sierra using GDI+ vs GDI with the source. |

When you zoom in you can see the optical illusion effects that GDI + is employing to make a line looks smooth when it really cannot be based upon the resolution of the monitor.

Yes,it's quite basic anti aliasing, so the actual lines are more blurry, but less jaggy. In real life it actually looks quite good, here's a example of Sierra vs NT ( which has .Net drawing so GDI+) , to me it looks more smoothed than it looks blurred, but probably a matter of personal preference :-) |

We are creating a new common graphics component within Sierra Chart to make Sierra Chart easy to port to other operating systems so we will work this in as an option.

yes, please do - I wanted to write anti-aliasing in my original post but I wasn't 100% sure if that was the correct terminology. AFAIK anti-aliasing doesn't take much power especially these days. NT is a (nice looking) dog but I'm sure its performance issues are for other reasons. Also it will make screenshots look better, so good for marketing ) Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-12-22 12:31:04

Was there ever anything done regarding this as an option? It cannot be a performance thing in 2020 I think and it is for sure not helped with a screen of higher resolution as this is a screenshot of a 4K screen with no scaling whatsoever, it is running in pure 100% mode. Form follows function and performance over beauty is all viable, but this is really a pity to look at all day. See screenshot, and it is like that in every single chart out of the about 40 I have to look at every day for hours Is there nothing that can be done about it please? Thanks |
