Feature Description
I have been trying to add a chart with the MACD without any candlestick or line chart or anything else, and I have not succeeded, I wanted to ask if anyone has done it or if it is possible to do it.
To Do
- Display a chart with a single indicator without a price chart.
What do you want to do in the first place?
To answer your question, I don't think the candlestick chart can be removed but if you just want to hide it you can set the MACD indicator pane height to the height of the chart div element minus some value to account for the axis height.
That solution does not seem to me to be a very nice way to do it.
It seems to me that there should be a way to show only one indicator on the chart without showing the candlestick chart.
You are asking a candlestick chart library to hide the candlestick?
MACD is just a line chart, there are lots of other charting libraries (plotly, hvplot, etc.) that can plot line charts.
I think it is a library of trading charts, not candlestick charts, and as such it should be able to show only one indicator I think.
Klinecharts is what candlestick is called in China, so it is literally in the name.
It is basically a clone of tradingview. Can you hide the candlestick in tradingview? You can hide the plot, but the canvas area is still there. If you want to make a MACD only chart in tradingview, what you can do is drag the MACD until it fill the candlestick area, which is what I have written above.
Like I said, if you only want to plot MACD, there are easier charting libraries out there.
Starting from 9.6.0, the layout attribute is supported during initialization, which can be implemented.
