Detect Bar Size/Resolution?

New comment
 

Hi,

I've attached a couple of images. One is where I have the bars small and one where the bars are larger. If I drag on the time axis on the chart window, going left makes the bars smaller, going right makes them bigger.

In the images, there is an indicator that I have programmed that has "wave" labels showing numbers. I'd like to programmatically change the numbers to a smaller font when the bars are made smaller and, vice versa.

Could anyone tell me whether these step bar/chart sizes can be captured in some kind of event so that I can adjust my label size?

Cheers and thanks! :)

  1. I've never dragged on the time axes, just press +/-
  2. You can try catching an event, or use a timer, or just check a tick.
    int OnInit(){
   width = (int)   ChartGetInteger(0,CHART_SCALE);
   SetIndexStyle(0, DRAW_HISTOGRAM, EMPTY, width);
:
int OnCalculate(...){
   if(ChartGetInteger(0,CHART_SCALE) != width)  OnInit();

Thanks very much @whroeder1 for pointing out CHART_SCALE. That'll do the trick very nicely indeed! :)
