Candlestick chart

[Oleg_Troyansky]

Hi folks!

Does anyone have an example of a nice looking Candlestick chart? I made one, using a Combo chart and a combination of bars and symbols, but it only looks decent when many bars are available. As soon as the user selects a single item, the bar automatically becomes too wide, and the whole picture gets really ugly...

Any good ideas are appreciated.

If anyone knows of a good extension that can be used for a Candlstick, please let me know.

Appreciate your feedback,

Oleg Troyansky

Can't you abuse the boxplot wizard to that purpose?

I tried the Box plot... Doesn't look too nice either. The blocks also become too wide with just a few available values.

Thanks fo the suggestion though!

Oleg,

Before the boxplot was avaialble (or it was and I didn't know yet), I used line chart with the conditional line style.  The attribute expression defined the thikness of the line between two variables:

if(SAT>=vLowIncomeL AND SAT<vLowIncomeH, '<W10>')

Had to use quite a number of variables, but it works.  And had colors, unlike the "native" QV boxplot.

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Michael

Thanks Michael!

This is an interesting idea... worth exploring...

Hi.

I've also used something like this to display ranges, max/min and distribution approximation.

The line style is also useful '<W1><S2>'

The only lack of fractional line width and aliasing makes sad...
