Class: SimpleHistogram

CIQ.Renderer. SimpleHistogram


new SimpleHistogram(config)

Creates a SimpleHistogram renderer, a derivation of the Candles renderer.

Note: By default the renderer displays histogram as underlays. As such, they will appear below any other studies or drawings.

The SimpleHistogram renderer is used to create a histogram with the top of each bar representing the value of the field. It is a much simpler form of histogram than that produced by the Histogram renderer (advanced package).

See CIQ.Renderer#construct for parameters required by all renderers
