| FUNCTION |
Adds a new column to the exploration result list. The column
shows array values and has a caption of name. The values are
formatted using format specification.
By default all variables are displayed with 2 decimal digits, but you
can change this by assigning a different value to this variable: 1.5 gives
5 decimal digits, 1.0 gives no decimal digits. (Note for advanced users:
the integer part of this number can be used to pad formatted number with
spaces - 6.0 will give no decimal digits but a number space-padded upto
6 characters.)
Next two parameters allow to modify text and background color.
special format constants:
-
formatDateTime - produces date time formated according to your system settings
AddColumn( DateTime(), "Date / Time", formatDateTime );
-
formatChar - allows outputting single ASCII character codes:
Example (produces signal file accepted by various other programs):
Buy=Cross(MACD(),Signal());
Sell=Cross(Signal(), MACD());
Filter=Buy OR Sell;
SetOption("NoDefaultColumns", True );
AddColumn( DateTime(), "Date", formatDateTime );
AddColumn( IIf( Buy, 66, 83 ), "Signal", formatChar );
- width parameter allows to control pixel width of the column
- 'barchart' parameter accepts values from 0...100 represening percentage width of bar chart displayed in a cell the in-cell bar chart is drawn with bkcolor (background color).

| EXAMPLE |
1. Simple column showing close price
addcolumn( Close, "Close price", 1.4 );
2. Colorful output
Filter =1;
AddColumn( Close, "Close", 1.2 );
AddColumn( MACD(), "MACD", 1.4 , IIf( MACD() > 0, colorGreen, colorRed ) );
AddTextColumn( FullName(), "Full name", 77 , colorDefault, IIf( Close < 10, colorLightBlue, colorDefault ) );
3. Barchart example
Filter=1;
AddColumn( Close, "Close" );
rank = PercentRank( Close, 100 );
Color = ColorHSB( rank
* 64/100, 255, 255 );
AddColumn( rank, "100-day
percent rank", 1.2, colorDefault,
Color, -1, rank ); |
