barcolor
Recolours the chart’s own price bars. It draws no value of its own.
To colour only some bars, vary the colour rather than the call: the colour argument is series-form, while the call has to stay at the top level. Note that every argument here is optional, color included.
barcolor(series color color, const string title, input int offset) → void| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
color | series color | no | The colour applied to the bars. Series-form, so it may differ on every bar. Optional. |
title | const string | no | The name of the colouring. Const-form. |
offset | input int | no | Shifts the colouring along the chart. Input-form, so it cannot change from bar to bar. |
Returns void — void.
