Technical Analysis Chart (TAChart) Constructor

When creating a new chart, it is possible to define values for theme, load_from_store, axis position, and HTML text rendering. There are also helper methods available, including set_dat, add_data_array, and load_csv, now supporting unsorted datasets.

trader = TAChart(
    license_key,
    html_text_rendering=True,
    load_from_storage=False,
    theme='turquoiseHexagon',
    axis_on_right=True
)

Menu Options Control

LightningChart Python introduces 41 new menu_options()to show/hide UI elements. This is helpful to build custom data visualization interfaces and simpler experiences.

menu = trader.menu_options()

menu.show_chart_title_input(False)
menu.show_currency_input(False)
menu.show_watermark_text_input(False)
