Wallpaper for MarketScope

[robocod]

Something I've been meaning to do for a while - a "wallpaper" tool for MarketScope. You can use it for anything, but since it's nearly Christmas - here's a little seasonal example for you.

Here's the indicator / tool:

wallpaper.lua

(3.79 KiB) Downloaded 717 times

Simply enter the full file-name of your graphic, the size of the graphic and the desired position (e.g. top-left, middle-centre, etc.). You can also select a colour for transparent mode, and the overall transparency.

Notes:

• The default path for finding the graphic files is normally the TradingStation install path, i.e. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Candleworks\FXTS2". But you can specify any path and file-name (remember to add the extension, e.g. png, bmp, jpeg, etc.). I think it is also case sensitive - sorry it is TradingStation limitation.
• You need to enter the graphic's size (width and height) manually. You can get this from Windows, e.g. file properties or mouse-over the file and it should tell you. Resize the graphic if required.

More information on my blog.

Enjoy

The indicator was revised and updated

Another example of the wallpaper tool for MarketScope 2.0. It supports several graphic formats (including png, bmp and jpeg). The tool can not do any resizing, so if necessary you might have to resize the graphic with an external editor (e.g. Paint, XnView or most graphics editing applications).

You can use it for your favourite car, dog, family pics, company logos, etc.
