GChartPatterns.SetPaintBuild()

Enables or disables the drawing of the formations that are in progress.

This function does not have to be executed with every tick.

void  GChartPatterns.SetPaintBuild(
   bool  paint = true  // If true, formations are drawn
   );

Parameter

paint

[in] If true, then the creation of the formations will be painted continuously.

Example:

//--- Include Glib classes
#include <Glib.mqh>

//--- Creation of a pointer to an empty class object
GChartPatterns *chartPatterns;

int OnInit ()
{
   //--- Assign the class to the empty class object
   chartPatterns = gChartPatterns();

   //--- Initialize the class data
   chartPatterns.Init();

   //--- Suppress drawing of emerging formations
   chartPatterns.SetPaintBuild(false);

   //--- Disable drawing of finished formations
   chartPatterns.SetPaintFinish(false);

   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}

void OnDeinit (const int reason)
{
   //--- Release memory on exit
   delete chartPatterns;
}

void OnTick
() {
   if (CurrentBar == 0)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      ( chartPatterns.Ready() ) //--- Runs only when all data is ready
   {
      //--- Does not draw on the chart because SetPaintBuild and SetPaintFinish are false
      chartPatterns.JustPaint();
