Three Way Filter with Boolean Setup

July 13th, 2011, 08:36 PM

Hello,

I've created a small indicator with generic filter descriptions to show the 8 possible outcomes for the use of 3 filters with all the possible outcomes using booleans.

Screenshot attached.

Code attached.

I've seen some "elegant code" here and would like to see if there's a better way to produce the results I'm looking for.

at least I know I don't need 90 lines of code, plus I agree some of the resulting plots/colors/drawtext sections could easily be combined or eliminated.

Any takers?
Thanks in Advance.

@zeller4, maybe using integers instead of booleans, and "switch/case" instead of "if" ?

In your code, lets say True == 0, False == 1, so something like:

Code

                            
int val;
val = (useFilter1*4)+(useFilter1*2)+(useFilter3*1);
switch (val)
{
 case 0: 
    Drawtext("A", False, "F1: T, F2: T, F3: T", ....
    break;
...

 case 7: 
    DrawText("H",false,"  | F1: F, F2: F, F3: F", ...
    break;
}

No need to tell you you how to reduce plots/colors/drawtext sections
