Setting multiple dataseries using a for loop

August 28th, 2012, 07:02 AM

I was wondering if it is possible to set a large amount of dataseries using a for loop. For example, say I have 64 dataseries named myDataSeries0, myDataSeries1,....myDataSeries63. Is it possible to pass i into into a structure to set all of these in the same loop?

Something similar to this, but that works

for(int i=0;i<64;i++)
{
myDataSeries+i.Set(myArray[i]);
}

You can use Dictionary for that:

Code

                            
private Dictionary<int, DataSeries> d; //in Variables section
d = new Dictionary<int, DataSeries>();    //in initialize
for (int i = 0; i < dsCount; i++) //wherever
{
    d[i] = new DataSeries(this);
}

//to set the values
for (int i = 0; i < dsCount; i++)
{
    d[i][0] = 343453.44 //setting data series d[i] value for current bar
}
//to access the values
for (int i = 0; i < dsCount; i++)
{
    Print("Value of the data series: "+ d[i][0]); //getting data series d[i] value for current bar
}

Thanks @gregid. I will try it when I get home. This should take 2000+ lines of code and trim it down to 400-500
