- Line, and histogram data can now be accessed from their `data` methods.
- Fixed a bug causing `maximize` to fail if a screen is not specified
- Global events can now be coroutines or functions.
- Screen now defaults to the active screen rather than the `0` screen.
- `null` values given in chart data are now removed and replaced with whitespace.
- Closing the chart window now cleanly exits.
- Fixed a bug causing the `offset` parameter to be greater than `0` when there is no offset.
- Hotkeys can now use any character, and modifier keys are not required.
- Refactored the colors of the topbar, searchbox, toolbox, and widgets for consistency.
- Toolbox/interval refactoring and simplification.
- Histograms now show up in the legend, and will use shorthand notation by default (e.g 34k rather than 34000).
- 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.

- added the `create_histogram` method and the `Histogram` object.
- added the `round` parameter to `trend_line` and `ray_line`
- chart.set can now be given line data.
Bug Fixes:
- `NaN` values can now be given when setting data, and will leave a blank space in the data.
- `resize` will now change the chart wrapper’s size as well as the chart itself.
- Added the `screen` parameter to `Chart`, allowing for monitor selection. This should be an index from 0 (0 = primary monitor, 1= second monitor, etc.)
- `vertical_span` method, allowing for vertical lines/spans to be drawn across the chart.
- `set_visible_range` method, which will set the visible range of the chart based on two given dates.
- `resize` method, which resizes the chart to the given size.
- `sync` will now sync both charts, regardless of which one is scrolled/zoomed.
- 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.
Tables Feature
- Added the `create_table` method, which returns a `Table` object. This can be used to display watchlists, order windows, position windows and more.
- See the new page on the docs for more information!
Bugs
- Fixed a bug preventing the named column of a line to not work as a label of the series.
- Fixed a bug causing drawings loaded from the minute timeframe to not show on a daily timeframe.
- Fixed a bug causing `chart.exit` to not work.
- Fixed a bug preventing the chart from being moved after placing a ray.
- Fixed the ‘price in hoveringOver’ web console error.
Enhancements
- The date/time column can also be the `name` of the passed series object.
- Added the `label` method to `HorizontalLine`, allowing for the price line label of horizontal lines to be updated.
- `None` or an empty DataFrame can now be passed to `line.set` as a means to clear it.
- Seperate Chart objects will now run on the same pywebview instance. This means that any Chart objects created after the first will inherit the first Chart’s API.
- Reorganized the documentation for clarity.
- 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 `toolbox` to the common methods.
- `toolbox.save_drawings_under` can save drawings under a specific `topbar` widget. eg `chart.toolbox.save_drawings_under(chart.topbar[’symbol’]`)
- `toolbox.load_drawings` will load and display drawings stored under the tag/string given.
- `toolbox.export_drawings` will export all currently saved drawings to the given file path.
- `toolbox.import_drawings` will import the drawings stored at the given file path.
Fixes/Enhancements:
- `update` methods are no longer case sensitive.
- HorizontalLines no longer throw cyclic structure errors in the web console.
- `API` methods can now be normal methods or coroutines.
- 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.
- 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.
- BETA: Dynamic candlestick loading
- the config method has been removed, and its methods can now be found in various places:
- right_padding: moved to the ‘time_scale’ method.
- mode: moved to the ‘price_scale’ method.
- title: declared in the new ‘title’ method.
- It is now possible to update titles, horizontal_lines, and markers within Line objects.
- 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).
