`display` (enum)

Definition Controls where a plot or indicator output is visible in the UI (pane, price scale, status line, data window). Fields

Name	Type	Description
`none`		Hide from all display locations.
`pane`		Show only in the chart pane.
`data_window`		Show only in the Data Window.
`price_scale`		Show on the price scale.
`status_line`		Show in the status line.
`all`		Show in pane, price scale, status line, and data window.

Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("display example")
plot(close, display=display.all)
plot(open, display=display.none)
plot(high, display=display.price_scale + display.status_line)

`font` (enum)

Definition Font family constants for text drawn on boxes, labels, and table cells. Pass them to text_font_family on box.new and label.new, to table.cell, or to the matching *.set_text_font_family setter. The parameter type is font, not string. Fields

Name	Type	Description
`family_default`		Default proportional font for drawing text.
`family_monospace`		Fixed-width font for drawing text.

Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("font Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    label.new(bar_index, high, text="Mono", text_font_family=font.family_monospace, size=size.small)
}

`hlineStyle` (enum)

Definition Three line styles for a horizontal level: solid, dashed and dotted. The smallest of the sets, and the only one used by hline. It is not interchangeable with plotStyle. Fields

Name	Type	Description
`solid`		A solid line (default).
`dashed`		A dashed line.
`dotted`		A dotted line.

Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("hlineStyle Example", overlay=false)
hline(70, title="Overbought", color=color.red, style=hlineStyle.dashed)
hline(50, title="Middle", color=color.gray, style=hlineStyle.dotted)
hline(30, title="Oversold", color=color.green, style=hlineStyle.solid)
plot(talib.rsi(close, 14), title="RSI", color=color.blue)

`location` (enum)

Definition Five places a marker can sit: abovebar, belowbar, top, bottom and absolute. The first two are relative to the bar; top and bottom are relative to the pane; absolute places the mark at a price. It is the location parameter of plotshape and plotchar, and plotarrow has no such parameter at all. Fields

Name	Type	Description
`abovebar`		Places the element above the current bar.
`belowbar`		Places the element below the current bar.
`top`		Places the element at the top of the chart.
`bottom`		Places the element at the bottom of the chart.
`absolute`		Places the element at a specific price level.

Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("location Example", overlay=true)
plotshape(close > open, title="Up Bar", location=location.belowbar, shape=shape.triangleup, color=color.green)
plotshape(close < open, title="Down Bar", location=location.abovebar, shape=shape.triangledown, color=color.red)

`plotStyle` (enum)

Definition The fourteen ways plot can draw a series: line, linebr, area, areabr, smoothedArea, stepLine, stepLinebr, stepArea, stepAreabr, bar, histogram, scatter, triangular and cross. Name a member with the set in front of it, as in plotStyle.histogram. The br endings are separate members, distinct from the plain forms. Fields

Name	Type	Description
`line`		A named constant for the ‘Line’ style, to be used as an argument for the style parameter in the plot function.
`linebr`		A named constant for the ‘Line With Breaks’ style, to be used as an argument for the style parameter in the plot function. Similar to `plotStyle.line`, except the gaps in the data are not filled.
`area`		A named constant for the ‘Area’ style, to be used as an argument for the style parameter in the plot function.
`areabr`		A named constant for the ‘Area With Breaks’ style, to be used as an argument for the style parameter in the plot function. Similar to `plotStyle.area`, except the gaps in the data are not filled.
`smoothedArea`		A name constant used to used to create a smoothly filled area between the plotted values and the x-axis (zero level or another base value). It provides a gradient-like appearance instead of a sharp, rigid fill.
`stepLine`		A named constant for the ‘Step Line’ style, to be used as an argument for the style parameter in the plot function.
`stepLinebr`		A named constant for the ‘Step line with Breaks’ style, to be used as an argument for the style parameter in the plot function.
`stepArea`		A name constant used to create a stepped area chart, where the filled area follows a step-like pattern instead of a smooth curve.
`stepAreabr`		A name constant used to create a stepped background area fill. This style is similar to plotStyle.stepArea, but instead of filling the area with a standard overlay, it applies a background-style fill that integrates smoothly with the chart.
`bar`		Vertical column bars
`histogram`		A named constant for the ‘Histogram’ style, to be used as an argument for the style parameter in the plot function.
`scatter`		A named constant used to plot individual data points as scattered dots on the chart, instead of a continuous line
`triangular`		A named constant used to plot a triangular wave-like pattern instead of a standard line.
`cross`		A named constant for the ‘Cross’ style, to be used as an argument for the style parameter in the plot function.

Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("plotStyle Example", overlay=false)
plot(close - open, title="Body", color=color.blue, style=plotStyle.histogram)
plot(talib.sma(close - open, 10), title="Average Body", color=color.orange, style=plotStyle.line)

`scale` (enum)

Definition Price-scale placement for scripts declared with indicator() or strategy(). Use the scale argument on those declarations. Default is scale.none. Fields

Name	Type	Description
`left`		Attach the script to the left price scale.
`right`		Attach the script to the right price scale.
`none`		Use the default scale for the script (separate pane when `overlay` is false).

Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("scale Example", overlay=true, scale=scale.right)
plot(close)

`shape` (enum)

Definition The twelve markers plotshape can draw: xcross, cross, triangleup, triangledown, flag, circle, arrowup, arrowdown, labelup, labeldown, square and diamond. Written shape.triangleup and so on. Fields

Name	Type	Description
`xcross`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`cross`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`triangleup`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`triangledown`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`flag`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`circle`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`arrowup`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`arrowdown`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`labelup`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`labeldown`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`square`		Shape style for plotshape function.
`diamond`		Shape style for plotshape function.

Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("Shape Example", overlay=true)
// Define bullish and bearish engulfing conditions
bullishEngulfing = close > open and close[1] < open[1] and close > close[1] and open < open[1]
bearishEngulfing = close < open and close[1] > open[1] and close < close[1] and open > open[1]
// Plot a triangle up for bullish engulfing
plotshape(series=bullishEngulfing, location=location.belowbar, shape=shape.triangleup, color=color.green, title="Bullish Engulfing")
// Plot a triangle down for bearish engulfing
plotshape(series=bearishEngulfing, location=location.abovebar, shape=shape.triangledown, color=color.red, title="Bearish Engulfing")
// Plot a cross at every bar where the close is equal to the open (Doji)
doji = close == open
plotshape(series=doji, location=location.abovebar, shape=shape.cross, color=color.blue, title="Doji")

`size` (enum)

Definition Six sizes for a marker: auto, tiny, small, normal, large and huge. Used by the size parameter of plotshape and plotchar. auto is a member like the rest, not the absence of a choice. Fields

Name	Type	Description
`auto`		Allows automatic size adjustment based on the chart’s zoom level and resolution.
`tiny`		Smallest size
`small`		Small size
`normal`		Default (medium) size
`large`		Large size
`huge`		Largest size

Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("size Example", overlay=true)
plotshape(talib.crossover(close, talib.sma(close, 20)), title="Cross Up", location=location.belowbar, shape=shape.triangleup, color=color.green, size=size.small)
plotshape(talib.crossunder(close, talib.sma(close, 20)), title="Cross Down", location=location.abovebar, shape=shape.triangledown, color=color.red, size=size.large)
