  additional chart types request
Posted by jfc on May-21-2016 00:54
Hello,

We are currently evaluating CD using C++ & Qt. Our only concern is the lack of kagi, renko and point & figure charts. Do you have any plans to add these chart types?

Thanks in Advance,
John

Hi jfc,

Currently, ChartDirector does not have the Kagi, Renko or Point and Figure charts built-in. To plot those charts, you would need to compute the data points, then use standard ChartDirector chart layers to plot them. For example, the Point and Figure chart can be drawn using "Scatter Layers", the Kagi Chart using "Line Layers", and the Renko Chart can be drawn using the CandleStick Layer (with the "stick" configured to have zero length) or Box Whisker Layer (with the whisker disabled and so just the box is visible).

I have attached an example for the "Point and Figure" chart I happened to have. The code basically contains 3 parts:

- To generate random data for testing.
- To compute the position of the symbols.
- To plot the chart using scatter layers, configure the axis, labels, etc..
