Indicator type

The indicator type property is initialized at construction time depending on the constructor that is used. Setting the type does not reset the value: the last value used for the new type, if any, is used.

Data represented by the indicator

The data represented by the indicator can be changed dynamically using the corresponding setValue/ setRange/ setDataWindow methods. If the data type to represent is different from the current one when invoking one of these methods, the indicator type is automatically updated according to the type of the data value. Furthermore, when you invoke one of these methods, you automatically update the chart drawing area.

Optional label

An optional label can be associated with a data indicator and drawn over the delimiter. The text to display can be set either at construction time or dynamically using the setText method.

By default, the location of the label is centered vertically or/and horizontally with respect to the data value/range/window. You can change this behavior by overriding the computeLabelLocation method.

Drawing order

As for all the decorations, you can control the drawing order of the indicator with respect to the charts representation and to the other decorations. This drawing order is described by the drawOrder property. See Decorations for more information on ordering decorations.
