Help with ListN Plotting

August 21st, 2021, 05:27 PM

Hi,

I have created a file that plots a horizontal line from price data in an Excel csv file. Everything works fine but I would like to know if there is a better way to code the plot portion of the code to just plot everything. Right now, if I have 10 rows of data in my Excel file, I would need 10 plot statements in my indicator, incrementing the ref number on every line. For example:

Plot1(Listn.Get(ListID, 1));
Plot2(Listn.Get(ListID, 2));
Plot3(Listn.Get(ListID, 3));
etc

Is there a simple one line method to just plot everything from my Excel file?

Thanks.

Code

Inputs: File_Directory("C:\Book1.csv");

var: listid(0);

listid = Listn.New;

value1 = Listn.Readfile(listid, File_Directory);     
   
Plot1(Listn.Get(ListID, 1));

olobay,

you could loop through the contents of your list and use a switch statement to pass an entry to a respective plot number. However, you would still have to add X different plots where X is the number of rows you read into the list. It might look more elegant, but it will likely not be less code compared to what you are doing now.
