In the example code in the user manual from the downloaded trial:
ChartAttribute defaultattrib = new ChartAttribute(Color.green, 1.0,
ChartConstants.LS_SOLID, Color.green);
METSValue = 0;
METS = new RTProcessVar("METS", defaultattrib);
How can a variable have a color, line size, etc.? It doesn't make much sense to me. I had thought a process variable was independent from it's display. What is it's purpose?
If an indicator, or multi-indicator object is created, and for some reason or another a ChartAttribute was not specifically specified for that indicator, then the indicator will pick on the default ChartAttribute of the RTProcessVar object.
Another use is to use the ChartAttribute of the RTProcessVar to initialize any indicator object you create.
RTProcessVar has ChartAttributes?
