Correct, right now it doesn't display what you put into TextDrawStyleText. plot.TextDrawStyleText = "Test"; plot[sc.Index] = 1; Plot is a subgraph, set sc.Index to 1 to get the text to show up on the chart. In the summary window it's displaying 1, but it'd be great if it would display "Test". The goal would be to be able to recreate something like the attached image from TradeStation, where we could have multiple plots on an indicator whose text changes regularly (background and foreground colors changing would be great too, but not super critical). We already do this on TOS, Ninja, MultiCharts, and eSignal but a lot of our customers are Infinity/Sierra Charts and would love to have a comparable feature.

Looks to be working pretty good in my quick test. Couple questions I have though - Is there a way to hide the text on the chart, but keep it in the summary window? - I've got the font color changing through DataColor, how would I change the background color of the cell through ACSIL? I realize it might be possible to do this through alerts as you mention above, but lets say we have 5 columns/plots in the summary window, each one of those cells in a row may need different coloring depending on their values and this wouldn't be possible with the alerts approach. If you look at the screenshot I attached above you'll see that some of the cells are green, red, and black all at the same time depending on their value at that given moment. Thanks for adding this feature so quickly, our clients will love it! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-01-05 15:55:23

- Is there a way to hide the text on the chart, but keep it in the summary window? Yes. Just hide the study: Chart Studies: Settings and Inputs Tab >> Hide Study how would I change the background color of the cell through ACSIL? Only the foreground color of the text can be changed and that would be controlled through either of these methods: ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Subgraph Array: sc.Subgraph[].PrimaryColor ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Subgraph Array: sc.Subgraph[].DataColor[] We would have to look at background coloring capability later on.

Do you mean the latest feature to show the text instead of the value for the Subgraph? We consider the prerelease stable so there is no problem with using that and as far as when that will become the main release, not totally sure. May be in about a week. But not a very long time.

Can you add the existing features of the quoteboard to the study summary window? Fonts, graphics settings, new high/low color highlights, and price alerts (including on study subgraph inputs, just easily configured directly through the study summary window, like we can on price alerts through the quoteboard) ?

Hi, Is there a property at the study level equivalent to the subgraph IncludeInStudySummary that can be used in the study code to set the value off by default for custom studies? I don`t see anything the MS intellisense. Thanks Rob

Fonts, graphics settings, new high/low color highlights, and price alerts This is already supported except the ability to set the price alerts. The menu command has now been added to the latest prerelease 1684 for this. (including on study subgraph inputs, just easily configured directly through the study summary window, like we can on price alerts through the quoteboard) ? This is not supported and will not be.

Any issues with changing the Study Summary text color to anything other than black? Seems that font & style and size changes are accepted whereas colors are not.

Am I doing something wrong? plot.UseStudySummaryCellBackgroundColor = 1; plot.StudySummaryCellBackgroundColor = RGB(255, 255, 255); but the cell just stays on the default color set in "Graphics Settings".

The Quote field "Name" does not seem to work anymore when switching to version 1689 (I was using 1674 before, I think). We see no problem with this and really makes no sense why there would be an issue. Make sure Sierra Chart is connected to the data feed and if there still is a problem what is the symbol?

Hi, Thanks for this new feature. I watched the video, which was helpful. Re using alerts based on "color bar based on alert condition" in the study summary window, is there a way to not have this column appear completely blank in the summary window until the alert is true ? I've attached a screenshot to explain what I mean but basically the only options I see at the moment for when the alert is not true is to have a column of 0s or -1s. Also, if you use one of the "comment" fields as a column, how do you go about editing that in the summary window ? Eg in the Quote Board I used this column for notes or potential turning point prices ? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-02-01 05:23:13

Post #97 is not making any sense to us. is there a way to not have this column appear completely blank in the summary window until the alert is true ? This is already the case as confirmed by what you say here: I've attached a screenshot to explain what I mean but basically the only options I see at the moment for when the alert is not true is to have a column of 0s or -1s. So what is the question? Comments are not supported on the Study Summary at this time. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Re #97 I mean have no digits (neither 1, 0 nor -1) appear in those columns until the alert is true. I'd also request that we get a label row to separate different types of instruments and a way to either have a symbol list linked to the summary window or some other way to reorder the instruments. To explain this, I belatedly added NGEH18 to my list of charts in my chartbook that has a Summary Study Window but I cannot drag it up to where it should be, with the other energy instruments

Label rows are just not possible on the Study Summary but charts can use custom titles which would be an alternative.
