lib_plot_objects

4 de jul. de 2023

Library "lib_plot_objects"
library wrapping basic builtin object constructors, to be able to do calculations with points/lines/boxes/triangles/polygons via libraries and on securities. inspired by Trendoscope's (

and tradingview.com/script/eNM7BFaR-DrawingMethods/) with added update mechanism to not have to recreate objects on every iteration for continously drawn items, automated xloc selection for coordinates, compatibility check for Points, added Triangle and Polygon types, object reflection via tostring to valid json (logging via webhook)

v37

• set default colors to fixed values instead of chart.fg_color (created issues when used via securities)
  
• added wrapper for polyline -> Polyline (however, polyline is lacking setters, so there's not much performance gain, points cannot be replaced, requires redraw when updating it)
  
• added speed optimization 'needs_redraw' flag to address polyline's lacking selective update, and to reduce all plots to absolute minimum (needs to be triggered explicitly). But composite objects like CenterLabel can infer redraw requirement from source object (as long as it isn't reset via draw() before the CenterLabel.update() call)
  
• replaced CenterLabel.points with source_line and source_polyline (either or can be set and will be used to update the point of the center_label)
  
• added methods around PolyLine (create_center_label, create_center, create_polyline, enqueue, delete
  
• added force_redraw parameter to all draw() functions to override needs_redraw
  
• removed setters for most objects, just use the direct assignment, save some lib size and context switching on function call
  
• removed object inspection part, i.e. tostring() functions, just bloatware for this lib
  
• removed workaround for chart.point.now() and chart.point.new() that returned the same chart.point instance on different calls when initialized with the same coordinates. TV fixed it, thank you guys!
  
• refactored LineFill draw(), will only draw if one line component has needs_redraw
  

Added:
method create_polyline(this, curved, closed, args)
  Namespace types: array<chart.point>
  Parameters:
    this (array<chart.point>)
    curved (bool)
    closed (bool)
    args (PolyLineArgs)

PolyLineArgs
  Fields:
    line_color (series color): The color of the line segments. Optional. The default is color.gray.
    fill_color (series color): The fill color of the polyline. Optional. The default is na.
    style (series string): The style of the polyline. Possible values: line.style_solid, line.style_dotted, line.style_dashed, line.style_arrow_left, line.style_arrow_right, line.style_arrow_both. Optional. The default is line.style_solid.
    width (series int): The width of the line segments, expressed in pixels. Optional. The default is 1.
    xloc (series string): Determines the field of the chart.point objects in the points array that the polyline will use for its x-coordinates. If xloc.bar_index, the polyline will use the index field from each point. If xloc.bar_time, it will use the time field. Optional. The default is xloc.bar_index.

PolyLine
  Fields:
    points (array<chart.point>): point array data of the polyline
    curved (series bool): Line color. If true, the drawing will connect all points from the points array using curved line segments. Optional. The default is false.
    closed (series bool): Line color. If true, the drawing will also connect the first point to the last point from the points array, resulting in a closed polyline. Optional. The default is false.
    args (PolyLineArgs): Wrapper for reusable arguments for line.new()
    needs_redraw (series bool)
    plot (series polyline): The polyline object to be added and plotted via draw()

Updated:
method create_center(this)
  Namespace types: PolyLine
  Parameters:
    this (PolyLine)

method create_center_label(this, txt, args, tooltip)
  Creates a new Label object.
  Namespace types: PolyLine
  Parameters:
    this (PolyLine)
    txt (string)
    args (LabelArgs)
    tooltip (string)

method enqueue(id, item, max)
  Namespace types: array<PolyLine>
  Parameters:
    id (array<PolyLine>)
    item (PolyLine)
    max (int)


CenterLabel
  Fields:
    center_label (Label): The generated, centered Label
    source_line (Line)
    source_polyline (PolyLine)
    needs_redraw (series bool)

Removed:

• method set_line_color(this, value)
• method set_style(this, value)
• method set_width(this, width)

• method set_txt_color(this, value)
• method set_bg_color(this, value)
• method set_yloc(this, yloc)
• method set_size(this, value)
• method tostring(this, date_format)
• create_point_var(id, bar_time, bar_idx, price)

v38 refactored needs_redraw to points_updated, since draw will only update positions, not styles, added center calculation for PolyLines

Added:
method calculate_center(this)
  Namespace types: PolyLine
  Parameters:
    this (PolyLine)

v39 removed points_updated status (intended for drawing/plotting optimization): however, pine does not support selective drawing/plotting only during certain ticks where values changed (native plot objects may not be used as varip). Therefore the best approach to optimize script run times is to optimize value/coordinate calculation (remain after change inside bar, use varip) then set the coordinates on each iteration (redundant but necessary since pine is rolling back plots between ticks, using (var))

Usage:

Pine Script®

v41 added deep copy functions for Label/CenterLabel/Line/Box to clone objects including the plot/chart object (polyline has no native copy function, you'll have to recreate it)

Added:

  Namespace types: LineFill
  Parameters:
    this (LineFill)
    copy_references (bool)

v43 modified linefill deep_copy to create a new plot/chart object instance manually as linefill.copy does not exist, simplified force_overlay handling for flip_support and deep_copy
