Post From: UDP Interface - Get Image from Chart

Hello,

I would like to add a screenshot feature to my external documentation application.

I would like to use your great UDP Interface.

The more I see and understand about Sierrachart, the more I love it.

On the description "https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/UDPAPI.html" is see that the IMAGE should me made on the "Symbol.Extension" file!?

This I don`t understand. If I go for the File (F.US.EPH23.scid), how SC will know which TimeFrame of the Chart should be used?
I have several Charts for the same Symbol open, which all use the same scid File.


If I create a Screenshot by the menu, I get a File Named: "F.US.EPH23 [CBV][M] 1 Min #2 2023-02-16 16_36_32.950.png".

This means I did a Screenshot of the 1 Min Chart of F.US.EPH23 and it is the #2 chart defined.

I would like to be able to request a screenshot of the Symbol and a dedicated Chart Number #2.

How should the Request look like?

Default Example: IMAGE_REQUEST--ES#.dly--640--480--20--C:/temp/image.png

IMAGE_REQUEST--F.US.EPH23 [CBV][M] 1 Min #2.scid--640--480--20--C:/temp/image.png
or
IMAGE_REQUEST--F.US.EPH23#2.scid--640--480--20--C:/temp/image.png

WOuld this be correct, or did I missed I something?

thanks
regards
