Plot Appearance Menu
The Plot Appearance menu is a standard feature in all our indicators that include plots. The functions and features described below will work the same way regardless of which indicator is used. The list of parameters in this menu that are available for customization are context sensitive and will depend on the selected Plot Type or other options.
The following options are available in this menu:
Plot Type:
- Regular Plot: Shows a line plot for all values. A complete history of all the levels and where they transitioned is shown. Enabling Remove Old Values in this mode will remove older plots and only show current values. Label Distance adjusts the distance between Plot Labels and the most recent price bar.
- Line at plot edge: Shows a short line representing the value of each plot corresponding to the rightmost visible price bar. Plot lines are aligned with the right edge of the primary chart. As you scroll the time axis, the levels will adjust to the value of the plot at the time of the rightmost visible price bar. The length of the line can be adjusted using the Total Width input.
- Line at right edge: Shows a short line representing the value of each plot corresponding to the rightmost visible price bar. Plot lines are aligned with the right edge of the chart panel.

The line length and offset from the panel edge can be adjusted using Total Width and Edge Offset inputs.
