[Indicator] Can I draw on the chart and at the same time, draw on a separate window? - page 2

    There are codes by WHRoeder which creates IIRC indicator buffers using Arrays; there are allot of his such examples.
    My polyline code is just creating line objects on the main chart, but you could modify it to draw them on any chart.

    Can it be done the other way around? I am actually painting several histograms in the main chart. I would like to paint 3buffers another window (an oscillator) :-)
    You can look up the window number with WindowFind() and use that in the ObjectCreate() You can NOT use the buffers.
 

You can simulate invisible buffer arrays in an indicator as many as you want, but it is a workaround, here is an article about it:

Using two windows is not a simple question, I found examples that draws objects, but thats all, like this:

My polyline uses that technique, but that is NOT what the OP was asking. He wanted some buffers to DISPLAY on the main chart and some on the subchart, which is impossible.

Will I kind of mixed up the thread. thanks!

  1. Make two indicators, one for each chart, or
  2. Make a sub chart indicator and use polyline to draw on the main - no modification needed.

Thank you WHRoeder!

You cannot.

I don't know who they are . . . if you mean what is shown in your attached image . . . it's probably using a pair of Indicator buffers drawing a histogram, but it's not a chart like the usual charts, it's an Indicator output. You will notice there is no Open and Close.
