In the release notes for 2494 it states that:
"The following ACSIL member variables are no longer supported: sc.ChartBackgroundColor, sc.UseGlobalChartColors, sc.ScaleBorderColor. They have been replaced with the following ACSIL functions: sc.GetGraphicsSetting(), sc.SetGraphicsSetting(), sc.SetUseGlobalGraphicsSettings(). These new functions provide a full comprehensive access to all color and graphic settings of the chart. Documentation will be added for these new functions as soon as possible."
I would like to find out how to code the new functions prior to updating but can not locate them in the online documentation.
Please advise.

The documentation for these will be added in about a week but we are putting together an example now. We will post this in a few minutes.

Works great! Thanks so much. The issue mentioned in This Post does not exist any more, same custom study (re-compiled after upgraded to 2497).
