Referencing other charts

Hi, sorry but I can't make this work to save my life, I am just trying to reference other charts in ASCIL and I can pull from the chart the study is loaded on, but not other charts, and even though I have it set to another chart it shows the studies from the current chart in the drop down list. Please see pic if I am not being clear.

Should this code correctly pull from chart 2, study 1, subgraph 1 when loaded on chart 1?

SCSFExport scsf_MTFStudyAverageV2(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
  SCSubgraphRef Average  = sc.Subgraph[0];
  
      
  if (sc.SetDefaults)
  {
    sc.GraphName = "MTF Study Average";
    
    sc.FreeDLL = 1;
    sc.AutoLoop = 1;
    sc.CalculationPrecedence = LOW_PREC_LEVEL;
    
    Average.Name = "Study Average";
    Average.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_LINE;
    Average.LineWidth = 2;
    Average.PrimaryColor = RGB(0,0,0);
    
    sc.Input[0].Name = "Chart Number 1";;
    sc.Input[0].SetChartNumber(2);
    
    sc.Input[1].Name = "Study ID 1";
    sc.Input[1].SetStudyID(1);
    
    return;
  }
  
  SCGraphData StudyData;
  sc.GetStudyArraysFromChartUsingID(sc.Input[0].GetChartNumber(), sc.Input[1].GetStudyID(), StudyData);
  if(StudyData.GetArraySize() == 0)
  return;
  SCFloatArrayRef SubgraphArray = StudyData[0];
  if(SubgraphArray.GetArraySize() == 0)
  return;

  Average[sc.Index] = SubgraphArray[sc.Index];

I have tried code that worked previously and I have tried the current documentation for sc.GetStudyArrayFromChart(), sc.GetStudyArrayFromChartUsingID(), sc.GetStudyArraysFromChart(), and I get the same results regardless of how I do it.

Thank you for any help.

You are not using the correct input type. You need to use the Study input type which combines both a Chart and a Study as one input.

You need to use this:

Thank you! I will give it a go tomorrow.

Hi, revised the code as indicated, but I am still having same exact problem. I know I am missing something obvious, I just can't figure it.

Sorry, thanks again for any help.



#include "sierrachart.h"

SCDLLName("MTFStudyAverageV2")
/*==========================================================================*/

SCSFExport scsf_MTFStudyAverageV2(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
  SCSubgraphRef Average  = sc.Subgraph[0];
  
      
  if (sc.SetDefaults)
  {
    sc.GraphName = "MTF Study Average";
    
    sc.FreeDLL = 1;
    sc.AutoLoop = 1;
    sc.CalculationPrecedence = LOW_PREC_LEVEL;
    
    Average.Name = "Study Average";
    Average.DrawStyle = DRAWSTYLE_LINE;
    Average.LineWidth = 2;
    Average.PrimaryColor = RGB(0,0,0);
    
    //sc.Input[0].Name = "Chart Number 1";;
    //sc.Input[0].SetInt(2);
    
    //sc.Input[1].Name = "Study ID 1";
    //sc.Input[1].SetInt(1);

    sc.Input[0].SetChartStudyValues(2, 1);
    return;
  }
    int ChartNumber = sc.Input[0].GetChartNumber();
    int StudyID = sc.Input[0].GetStudyID();
    
    SCGraphData StudyData;
    sc.GetStudyArraysFromChartUsingID(ChartNumber, StudyID, StudyData);
    if(StudyData.GetArraySize() == 0)
    return;
    SCFloatArrayRef SubgraphArray = StudyData[0];
    if(SubgraphArray.GetArraySize() == 0)
    return;

  Average[sc.Index] = SubgraphArray[sc.Index];   

}

A quick look at the code shows that it does look correct.

For an example, refer to /ACS_Source/studies7.cpp/scsf_ReferenceDataFromAnotherChart

Ok, so I happened to scroll way back on Chart 1 and I can see what is happening now, it is plotting the ADX from Chart 2 bar for bar on Chart 1, it is not matching up the time index and stretching it out, see pic. Should I be doing something with the indexing, or something else, or is this hinky behavior? I looked at the example you referred to and it shows getting the other charts index values, but not using them for purposes of the subgraph plot.

Thanks again.

Bump :-)

I know I am doing something stupid, but I looked at this again with fresh eyes and still don't see it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help.
