Hi Bill,
Setting width can be done several ways, however if you
add a new column in or switch between explorations after an initial one has been
run, the column width doesn't enlarge automatically and you must use a manual
approach. But here are my workarounds for when there are a lot of columns
and changes.
As suggested, add some spaces in the column heading's
name. Unfortunately I am unaware of a way to make a column narrower
than the heading once it is set, so artful naming comes into play -- e.g.,
a column heading of "Today's Volume as a Percent of the 21 day Simple Moving
Average of Volume" wastes a lot of space so it becomes "V % of 21dMA" and it is
still too long. Also you can force some space in the format assignment of
AddColumn(), for example, if it is a price field I specify 3.2, a volume field
then 10.0, an ADX then 2.0, etc. I use the following for example:
AddColumn (C, " Close ", 2.2, colorDarkGreen,
colorLightGrey);
AddColumn(V, " VOLUME ",10.0, colorYellow, colorDarkGreen);
AddColumn(ADX(14) ,"ADX
(" +WriteVal(PADX, 2.0)+")", 3.0, colorBlue, colorYellow);
Finally, I find that if I am editing or switching
between explorations with different outputs, if I click on scan to start a scan
to run (remember there must be a 'Buy=' statement) then cancel it and run
the exploration, the column headings will resize to what the new exploration
calls for and not use what the prior exploration set.

width
Hi
Bill,
As far as I know
there is unfortunately no way. I would also like to have
it.
The only way is to
change it manually with the mouse.
Regards,
Thomas

Betreff: [amibroker]
Column width
Does anyone know if there is a way to control column
width in AA? I am adding a Date column but the date is being cutoff
because the column is too
narrow.
