CreateBitmap

Creates a graphical resource bound to a chart object.

1. Creates a graphical resource in the main window of the current chart.

bool  CreateBitmap(
   const string       name,                                 // name
   const datetime     time,                                 // time
   const double       price,                                // price
   const int          width,                                // width
   const int          height,                               // height
   ENUM_COLOR_FORMAT  clrfmt=COLOR_FORMAT_XRGB_NOALPHA      // format
   );

2. Creates a graphical resource using a chart ID and a subwindow number.

bool  CreateBitmap(
   const long         chart_id,                             // chart ID
   const int          subwin,                               // subwindow number
   const string       name,                                 // name
   const datetime     time,                                 // time
   const double       price,                                // price
   const int          width,                                // width
   const int          height,                               // height
   ENUM_COLOR_FORMAT  clrfmt=COLOR_FORMAT_XRGB_NOALPHA      // format
   );
