How do I change the background color of a region?

Hi, I think there is no setting for a different region color because changing the background color will change both the main chart and the regions .... But you can try the study "Color Bacground Based on alert Condition" In the settings and input tab change chartregion to your number and put condition =C in the alert tab |

Yes this is true. There is only one chart background color.

Are there any other studies in Region 2 besides the Average True Range?

I tried Ackin's solution and it works! But the strange thing is, that after adding the "Color Bacground Based on alert Condition" study, the scale text for the specific region disappears (or go to black ?) How to solve this? ie. get back white scale text on region#2 Screenshot attached, with 3 regions. 2nd region has the aforementioned study added, and bg to gray. https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1700051351320.png Date Time Of Last Edit: 2023-11-15 12:29:35

Interesting approach with CBBOAC. Can also be done in ACSIL and GDI functions. Code Snippet: void DrawToChart(HWND WindowHandle, HDC DeviceContext, SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { // easier to see in the debugger with locals const int region_left = sc.StudyRegionLeftCoordinate; const int region_top = sc.StudyRegionTopCoordinate; const int region_right = sc.StudyRegionRightCoordinate; const int region_bottom = sc.StudyRegionBottomCoordinate; n_ACSIL::s_GraphicsRectangle Rectangle; n_ACSIL::s_GraphicsColor Color; Rectangle.Left = region_left; Rectangle.Top = region_top; Rectangle.Right = region_right; Rectangle.Bottom = region_bottom; Color.Color.RawColor = sc.Input[0].GetColor(); sc.Graphics.FillRectangleWithColor(Rectangle, Color); } I would have thought this study should be first in the list (and draw underneath the main subgraph), but I had to put it last for it to work as expected. |

Hey, thank you User719512 for the suggestion to move around the study !! After moving the "Color Background Based on alert Condition" study last on the list of studies, I've got the region scale back. Now it works.. |
