I'm looking for an ACSIL function to get the x-pixel coordinate for a future date/time I've found sc.GetNearestMatchForSCDateTime() which works fine for the most part, but not when the date/time references a future date/time and that is exactly my use case I want to render upcoming news events by vertical lines. So let's say the current chart time is 13:55 and that there is an upcoming news event at 15.00 Then I would like to draw a vertical line at 15:00. This should be possible since the x-axis already shows future time and the standard drawing tools allows us to draw a line in the future However, I would like to use the new graphics drawing functions to render the events See below for an example where there is a news event at 3pm which is indicated by a red vertical line Please advise https://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1704307895145.png |

The function linked below also includes the forward area. sc.GetNearestMatchForSCDateTimeExtended() You may wish to set/adjust the forward columns also. ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Subgraph Array: sc.Subgraph[].ExtendedArrayElementsToGraph |
