This kind of library is often used to create charts and plots when writing and designing strategies. For a single custom chart, we can use the "plotting library" (users who are not familiar with the concept of the template library on FMZ can check the FMZ API documentation), which is very convenient for plotting operations. However, for scenarios that require multiple charts, this template library cannot meet the requirements. Then we learn the design ideas of this plotting library, and on this basis, design a multi-chart version of the plotting library.

Design the Export Functions of "Template Library"

Learning from the export function design of "plot Library", we can also design similar export functions for the multi-chart plotting library.

  • $.PlotMultRecords
    Used to draw K-line charts, designed parameters: cfgName, seriesName, records, extension。
    cfgName: as a single chart, the name of the configured object;
    seriesName: the name of the data series that need to draw K-lines at the moment;
    records: the K-line data passed in;
    extension: the chart dimension configuration information, for example: pass {layout: 'single', col: 6, height: '600px'}, that is, request the chart with the configured object name of cfgName to solely display width: 6, height: 600px.
  • $.PlotMultLine
    Used to draw lines, designed parameters: cfgName, seriesName, dot, ts, extension
    cfgName: as a single chart, the name of the configured object;
    seriesName: the name of the data series that need to draw lines at the moment;
    dot: the ordinate value of the dot on the lines to be drawn;
    ts: timestamp, namely the value on the X time axis;
    extension: the chart dimension configuration information.
  • $.PlotMultHLine
    Used to draw horizontal lines; designed parameters: cfgName, value, label, color, style
    cfgName: the configured object in the chart;
    value: the ordinate value of the horizontal line;
    label: the display text on the horizontal line;
    color: line color;
    style: line style, for example: Solid ShortDash ShortDot ShortDashDot ShortDashDotDot Dot Dash LongDash DashDot LongDashDot LongDashDotDot.
  • $.PlotMultTitle
    Used to modify the title and sub-title of the chart; designed parameters: cfgName, title, chartTitle
    cfgName: the configured object name;
    title: sub-title;
    chartTitle: the title of the chart.
  • $.PlotMultFlag
    Used to draw flag; designed parameters: cfgName, seriesName, ts, text, title, shape, color, onSeriesName
    cfgName: the configured object in the chart;
    seriesName: the name of the data series;
    ts: timestamp;
    text: the text in the flag;
    title: the title of the flag;
    shape: the shape of the flag;
    color: the color of the flag;
    onSeriesName: it is based on which data series to display on; the value is the id of the data series.
  • $.GetArrCfg
    Used to return the configured object array of the chart.

Design Test Functions

For easy understanding, I wrote remarks directly on the test functions, explaining what each function call does.

// test
function main() {
    LogReset(10)
    var i = 0 
    var prePrintTs = 0

    while (true) {
        var r = exchange.GetRecords()   // Get K-line data
        var t = exchange.GetTicker()    // Get the real-time tick data 

        $.PlotMultRecords("chart1", "kline1", r, {layout: 'single', col: 6, height: '600px'})   // Create a K-line chart named chart1, and display it solely; the width is 6, and the height is 600px; the K-line data series name is kline1, and use r obtained above as the data source to draw the chart
        $.PlotMultRecords("chart2", "kline2", r, {layout: 'single', col: 6, height: '600px'})   // Craete the second K-line chart, named chart2
        $.PlotMultLine("chart2", "line1", t.Last, r[r.length - 1].Time)  // Add a line to the K-line chart, namely chart2, the name of the data series is line1, and use the Last of the real-time tick data as the Y value of the dot on the line. The timestamp of the last BAR of the K-line data is used as the X value
        $.PlotMultLine("chart3", "line2", t.Last)   // Create a chart named chart3 that only draws lines, with data series name line2; use the Last of real-time tick data to draw a dot at the current time (X value) (t.Last is Y value); note that the chart is not displayed solely
        $.PlotMultLine("chart6", "line6", t.Time)   // Create a chart chart6 that only draws lines; note that the chart is not displayed solely, it will be displayed with chart3 on pagination 
        $.PlotMultLine("chart4", "line3", t.Sell, new Date().getTime(), {layout: 'single', col: 4, height: '300px'})  // Create a chart named chart4 that only draws lines, solely displayed, width 4, height 300px
        $.PlotMultLine("chart5", "line4", t.Volume, new Date().getTime(), {layout: 'single', col: 8, height: '300px'})  // Create a chart named chart5 that only draws lines, solely displayed, width 8, height 300px  

        $.PlotMultHLine("chart1", r[r.length - 1].Close, "HLine1", "blue", "ShortDot")   // Add horizontal lines in chart1
        $.PlotMultHLine("chart4", t.Sell, "HLine2", "green")  // Add horizontal lines in chart4
        $.PlotMultTitle("chart3", "change : chart3->test1", "test1")   // Modify the title of chart3

        var ts = new Date().getTime()
        if (ts - prePrintTs > 1000 * 20) {
            prePrintTs = ts 
            // when triggered, draw a flag on chart3
            $.PlotMultFlag("chart3", "flag1", new Date().getTime(), "flag test", "flag1")
        }
        
        if (i == 10) {
            Log("i == 10")
            // when triggered, draw a flag on chart4, and chart1
            $.PlotMultFlag("chart4", "flag2", new Date().getTime(), "flag test", "flag2")
            $.PlotMultFlag("chart1", "flag3", new Date().getTime(), "flag test", "flag3", "squarepin", "green", "kline1")
        } else if (i == 20) {
            Log("i == 20")
            // when triggered, add a line on chart1, but only draw a dot of the line; X coordinate is timestamp, and Y coordinate is the value of t.Last 
            $.PlotMultLine("chart1", "line5", t.Last, r[r.length - 1].Time)
        } else if (i == 30) {
            Log("i == 30")
            // when triggered, draw a flag on chart2 
            $.PlotMultFlag("chart2", "flag4", new Date().getTime(), "flag test", "flag4", "circlepin", "black", "kline2")
        }
        
        Sleep(1000 * 5)
        i++
    }
}

Operation Test

You can see that with only one line of function call, you can easily draw a chart, and you can display multiple kinds of charts at the same time.
