ISelectionApi

Interface

Allows you to select entities (drawings and indicators) on the chart. Consider the following example:

var chart = tvWidget.activeChart();
// Prints all selection changes to the console
chart.selection().onChanged().subscribe(null, s => console.log(chart.selection().allSources()));
// Creates an indicator and saves its ID
var studyId = chart.createStudy("Moving Average", false, false, { length: 10 });
// Adds the indicator to the selection ([<id>] is printed to the console)
chart.selection().add(studyId);
// Clears the selection ([] is printed to the console)
chart.selection().clear();

Multiple Selection

Multiple selection has the following specifics:

  • Either indicators or drawings can be selected at the same time.
  • If you add an indicator to the selection, other entities are removed from it.
  • Adding an array of objects to the selection works the same as adding these objects one by one.
