Quick Reference...

Attribute Name
LineStats
Type Integer (0..31)
Summary: Sets the type of statistical line to applied to the graph.

Description:

The LineStats attribute lets you superimpose statistical lines and curves on several graph types. Statistical lines are available for line (including lin/log, log/lin, log/log, and overlay line graphs), 2D scatter, high-low-close, open-high-low-close, candlestick, and box-whisker (parametric data only) graphs. Curves are available for all of these graph types except candlestick.

Simply set LineStats to any one of the following values...

Value Statistical Lines
0 No statistical lines (default)
1 Mean line
2 Min/max line
3 Mean and min/max lines
4 Standard-deviation line
5 Standard-deviation and mean lines
6 Standard-deviation and min/max lines
7 Standard-deviation, min/max, and mean lines
8 Best-fit line
9 Best-fit and mean lines
10 Best-fit and min/max lines
11 Best-fit, min/max, and mean lines
12 Best-fit and standard-deviation lines
13 Best-fit, standard-deviation, and mean lines
14 Best-fit, standard-deviation, and min/max lines
15 All lines--best-fit, standard-deviation, min/max, and mean
16-31 Same as above, with curve fitting--add 16 to each of the above settings to enable a curve (curves aren't available for candlestick graphs, for which settings 16-31 duplicate settings 0-15)
  • Mean plots a line parallel to the X axis through the mean (average) value of the data set.
  • Min/max plots a pair of lines parallel to the X axis through the maximum and minimum values of the data set.
  • Standard deviation plots a pair of lines parallel to the X axis through the standard deviation of the data set above and below the mean.
  • Best fit plots a first-order regression fit--a straight line fitted to the trend of data points. It's identical to the polynomial curve of order 1 (CurveType setting 0, CurveOrder setting 1).
  • Curve plots a curve defined by the CurveType, CurveSteps, and CurveOrder properties.

Number of lines or curves

The number of statistical lines or curves drawn depends on the graph type:

  • For line and scatter graphs, you get one line (or pair of lines for min/max and standard deviation) per data set.
  • For high-low-close, open-high-low-close, and candlestick graphs, you get one line (or pair of lines) for the entire graph, based on the close values.
  • For box-whisker graphs, you get one line (or pair of lines) for the entire graph, based on the median values.


Remarks:

None.

Example...

<CFXGRAPHICSSERVER ... LineStats="4" ... >

will add a standard deviation line to the graph. Note that you can only have one LineStats attribute per tag.
