Change BarWidth and BarSpacing in an indicator/strategy

July 4th, 2015, 12:18 AM

I know there are several 'unsupported' methods for accessing the barwidth and barspacing.

However, since they are unsupported, not much help is available about using these in an indicator.

Does anyone have an indicator or strategy that gives and example of how to change these parameters when loading a chart?

I saw a post by @Mindset on NT forum about methods he uses to accomplish this.
But those are several years old and apparently he is not very active lately.

Thanks

I know there are several 'unsupported' methods for accessing the barwidth and barspacing.

I have tried these two additions to my indicator and they seem to change the chart.
I hope there is a better way to accomplish this.
The two methods change the chart display but not too reliable.

Code

ChartControl.BarSpace=15;
ChartControl.BarWidth=15;
