Graphical objects in Chart window

You can apply various graphic elements to the chart, which are located on the Drawing Panel.

All graphical objects maintain the styles and parameters that were previously set for them. For example, if you draw a red dashed line with a thickness of 3, then the next time you choose to draw a line, it will be drawn with precisely the same settings.

The Tiger.Trade terminal has an API that lets you program graphical objects. Examples of graphical objects are in the related page.

The object manager can be opened by:

• Double-clicking on the object with the left mouse button

• Right-clicking in the chart area and selecting the line Object manager.

The left part of the window shows the areas of charts and a list of graphical objects in them, as well as a button to delete selected graphical objects from the list.

The right side of the window shows the properties of the selected graphical object that can be edited. To save the object settings as a template, click on the icon.

In the pop-up window, enter a name for the template and click the button OK. When adding a new object from the list of templates, you can now select the saved one, except for the Default template.
