The Charting Library 1.5 (stable) has been released! It has many new improvements and bug fixes, which were requested and reported by our wonderful community.
What’s new:
- Second-based timeframes. It’s possible to plot “X” seconds charts now, for example a 5 second or 20 second charts.
- Maximized panes. If you want to focus on a specific pane, simply double-click on a pane to maximize it. You can also do this by clicking maximize/minimize buttons in the right top corner of a pane.
- Customized default settings for a graphic object (GitHub issue #976). You can change settings of a drawing object to save them as new defaults.
- New symbol info dialog (GitHub issue #936). Show as many details for users as they need: symbol name, description, category, exchange, session info and much more.
- Custom colors for markers on bars (GitHub issue #914). Markers can now be used to display info on a specific interval of a chart. You can choose any RGB color for markers.
- An attribute to show last bar values (GitHub issue #780). Use the attribute ‘price_scale_always_last_bar_value’ to show actual last bar values instead of the last visible bar values
- Offset from UTC for various time zones (GitHub issue #838). Time zone offset is now displayed on charts.
- Cursor movement events (GitHub issue #735). Easier interaction with chart. If you subscribe to ‘crossHairMoved’ event, you can get info about price and date/time on the point where the cursor is located. It can be very useful if you want to display additional info on specific intervals.
More new features:
- Configurable delay after a character is typed into symbol search field and before it actually starts searching (GitHub issue #974).
- Configurable delay before onAutoSaveNeeded event triggers (GitHub issue #846).
