- added the `align` parameter to all topbar widgets, allowing for individual widgets to be placed either on the left or right hand side of the topbar.
- Disabled QtChart’s context menu by default.
Bug Fixes:
- The `screenshot` method now works for subcharts.
- Tables will still render if a `NoneType` is passed to them as a value.
- Qt and Wx charts no longer throw an error when using the toolbox.
- Added async methods to polygon.
- The `requests` library is no longer required, with `urllib` being used instead.
- Added the `get_bar_data` function, which returns a dataframe of aggregate data from polygon.
- Opened up the `subscribe` and `unsubscribe` functions
Enhancements:
- Tables will now scroll when the rows exceed table height.
Bugs:
- Fixed a bug preventing async functions being used with horizontal line event.
- Fixed a bug causing the legend to show duplicate lines if the line was created after the legend.
- Fixed a bug causing the line hide icon to persist within the legend after deletion (#75)
- Fixed a bug causing the search box to be unfocused when the chart is loaded.
Breaking Changes:
- Removed the `api` parameter; callbacks no longer need to be in a specific class.
- Topbar callbacks now take a chart as an argument (see updated callback examples)
- Removed the `topbar` parameter from chart declaration. The Topbar will be automatically created upon declaration of a topbar widget.
- Removed the `searchbox` parameter from charts. It will be created upon subscribing to it in `chart.events`.
- Removed `dynamic_loading`.
- Removed ‘volume_enabled’ parameter. Volume will be enabled if the volumn column is present in the dataframe.
- Widgets’ `func` parameter is now declared last.
- Switchers take a tuple of options rather than a variable number of arguments.
- `add_hotkey` renamed to `hotkey`
- Horizontal lines now take a `func` argument rather than `interactive`. This event will emit the Line object that was moved.
- Removed the `name` parameter from `line.set`. Line object names are now declared upon creation.
Enhancements:
- Added the `button` widget to the Topbar.
- Added the color picker to the drawing context menu.
- Charts now have a `candle_data` method, which returns the current data displayed on the chart as a DataFrame.
- Fixed callbacks are now located in the `chart.events` object:
- search (e.g `chart.events.search += on_search`)
- new_bar
- range_change
- Added volume to the legend
- Drawings can now be accessed through `chart.toolbox.drawings`
- added the `style` and `name` parameters to `create_line`
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a bug causing new charts not to load after `exit` was called.
- Refactored rayline placement to ensure they do not move the visible range.
- Fixed a bug causing the visible range to shift when trendlines are moved past the final candlestick.
- Fixed a bug preventing trendlines and raylines on irregular timeframes.
- Fixed a bug causing the legend to prevent mouse input into the chart.
- Removed bar data from exported drawings, which should reduce the file size of exported drawings. (Make sure to back up any drawing files before running the new version!)
- Drawings can now be deleted through each’s right click context menu.
- Added the new ‘hotkey’ method, which will execute the given method or function when the key command is pressed.
- Non-fixed callbacks no longer need to be placed in the API class.
- Added `trend_line` and `ray_line` to the Common Methods.
- Added the `toolbox` parameter to chart declaration. This allows horizontal lines, trend lines and rays to be drawn on the chart using hotkeys and buttons.
- cmd-Z will delete the last drawing.
- Drawings can be moved by clicking and dragging.
- Added the `render_drawings` parameter to `set`, which will keep and re-render the drawings displayed on the chart (useful for multiple timeframes!)
Horizontal Lines
- The `horizontal_line` method now returns a HorizontalLine object, containing the methods `update` and `delete`.
- Added the `interactive` parameter to `horizontal_line`, allowing for callbacks to be emitted to the `on_horizontal_line_move` callback method when the line is dragged to a new price (stop losses, limit orders, etc.).
Enhancements:
- added the `precision` method to the Common Methods, allowing for the number of decimal places shown on the price scale to be declared.
- Lines displayed on legends now have toggle switches, allowing for their visibility to be controlled directly within the chart window.
- when using `set`, the column names can now be capitalised, and the `date` column can be the index.
Changes:
- Merged the `title` method into the `price_line` method.
NEW FEATURE: Polygon.io Full integration
- Added `polygon` to the common methods, allowing for data to be pulled from polygon.io. (`chart.polygon.<method>`)
- Added the `PolygonChart` object, which allows for a plug and play solution with the Polygon API.
- Check the docs for more details and examples!
Enhancements:
- Added `clear_markers` and `clear_horizontal_lines` to the common methods.
- Added the `maximize` parameter to the `Chart` object, which maximizes the chart window when shown.
- The Legend will now show Line values, and can be disabled using the `lines` parameter.
- Added the `name` parameter to the `set` method of line, using the column within the dataframe as the value and using its name within the legend.
- Added the `scale_candles_only` parameter to all Chart objects, which prevents the autoscaling of Lines.
- new `screenshot` method, which returns a bytes object of the displayed chart.
Fixes:
- `chart.lines()` now returns a copy of the list rather than the original.
- Fixed a bug causing Subcharts not to sync initially.
- added `scale_margin_top` and `scale_margin_bottom` parameters to the `price_scale` method.
- Added `price_line` and `price_label` parameters to `create_line`.
- Lowered the default margins of the chart.
- Added the chart.spinner method, which when set to `True` shows a loading spinner on the chart (a nice visual for API calls, large datasets etc).
- If an empty data frame is passed to set (eg.`chart.set(pd.DataFrame())`) the volume series and candle series will be cleared.
- added the `cumulative_volume` parameter to `update_from_tick`, which adds the given volume tick onto the latest bar.
- Added `vert_visible` and `horz_visible` parameters to `crosshair`.
- Small style improvements to the searchbox and topbar.
- Fixed a bug preventing callbacks within `WxChart` and `QtChart`
Thanks to @emma-uw for the following fixes and enhancements!
- Methods `hide_data`, `show_data` and `price_line` can be used within Charts, Subcharts and Lines to change the visibility of data, price lines, and the price line labels.
- Added the `delete` method to Line, which irreversably deletes the Line on the chart as well as its objects in JavaScript and Python.
- Added the `lines` common method, which returns a list of all Line objects for the chart.
- Added the `fit` method to the common methods, which uses the `fitContent()` method from Lightweight Charts.
- Fixed a big which caused synced SubCharts to be out of sync upon loading.
BETA: Polygon.io integration
- Added the `PolygonChart` and `polygon` method, allowing for direct integration of polygon.io’s API.
- This feature is still in beta, and there will be a full announcement and update once the feature is complete!
- Removed ChartAsync.
- Added the `show_async` method to `Chart`.
- Refactored how the TopBar is used. The docs explain this in detail, but a basic rundown is:
- `corner_text` and `create_switcher` are no longer methods. The `topbar` attribute of `chart` should be used instead.
- switchers and textboxes, now created with `chart.topbar.textbox` and `chart.topbar.switcher` require a name to be passed to them, which is used to access its instance (e.g `chart.topbar[‘timeframe’]`)
- If you have any questions about these changes, or potential enhancements, feel free to raise an issue and I will get back to you ASAP :)
- PtQt and Wx can now use either synchronous or asynchronous callback functions
- BETA: Support for Jupyter Notebooks
- Fixed a bug causing the ‘date’ column of DataFrames passed to `set`, `update`, and `update_from_tick` to be modified.
- Added the ChartAsync class, allowing for more sophisticated Charts and SubCharts.
- Symbol searching, timeframe selectors, and more is now possible with this varation of Chart.
`QtChart` and `WxChart` have access to all the methods that `ChartAsync` has, however they utilize their own respective event loops rather than asyncio.
New Feature: `StreamlitChart`
- Chart window that can display static data within a Streamlit application.
Removed the `subscribe_click` method.
- Upgraded to Lightweight Charts v4.0.1.
- Added a ‘hover’ item to the returning dictionary from subscribe_click.
- Markers and SubCharts no longer use a UUID for identification, but an 8 character string.
- Added the create_subchart method to Chart.
- Added the SubChart class.
- Added an inner_width and inner_height parameter to Chart.
- The time_scale method can now disable the time scale completely.
Bugs:
- Fixed a bug which prevented markers from being placed on charts with a timescale less than a day.
- Updated chart.exit() to destroy objects and terminate the webview process.
- Fixed WxChart not expanding correctly and removed its width and height parameters.
- Fixed KeyboardInterrupt error message when using show(block=True).
