This section of the documentation does not appear to cover the new bar type:

https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ChartSettings.html#TimePeriodPerBar

In Chart Settings, what do the two numbers to be inserted represent? This is right below 'Bar Period: Point and Figure (in ticks)' and is shown as x-y, where x and y are to be inserted by the user. Is one box size in ticks?

Also is it true that if using a Graph Draw Type of 'Point and Figure XO' that the colour of the bars (XO's) cannot be changed? This section of the documentation refers: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_GraphDrawTypesColorSettings.php

Excellent, I see you have done that.

But what about the 2nd part to my post:

Also is it true that if using a Graph Draw Type of 'Point and Figure XO' that the colour of the bars (XO's) cannot be changed? This section of the documentation refers: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_GraphDrawTypesColorSettings.php

Currently the colours for 'X' are green and 'O' are red. But the contrast is not that great on the grey background I use (see attached).

Given the very nature of PnF is that the 'X' and 'O' denote direction, it is not necessary for them to be coloured separately. I would prefer to be able to change the colour to something like black for both.

I tried some of the Graph Draw Type Colors, but they did not change the PnF plot colours, unless by chance it happens to be one of the styles I did not try.

Is it possible for the colour of the 'X' and 'O' to be user selectable?

Thanks
