Introduction
The Footer is an indicator designed to reveal additional data that are not visually evident in the chart's candles, thereby allowing a more enriched and deep comparative analysis. Its correct functioning requires that it be incorporated in conjunction with the FootPrint on the chart, as its operability is dependent and not autonomous.
In the context of PipFlow, the Footer is deliberately segregated from the FootPrint. This design responds to the preferences of certain users who opt for the information zones, instead of the Footer. This separation effectively simplifies the configuration of the FootPrint, making its use more intuitive and manageable.
Additionally, in its professional version, the Footer incorporates a magnifying glass function. This tool is especially useful in the narrow display mode of the chart, where only the candles are displayed. With the magnifying glass, users can observe in detail the values contained in the boxes, which allows for a finer and more precise analysis of the data.
General Footer Properties
ZOrder
This option allows the Footer to appear on top of other indicators in the chart. The Z Order is an axis that the graphics hardware uses to determine the occlusion algorithm when drawing. By manipulating these values, you can determine which indicator has screen preference, i.e., which is displayed on top of others.
Min Opacity
This value ranges from 0 to 100 and allows you to set a minimum opacity in the Footer boxes. If you do not want any opacity to appear, it should be set to 100. The recommended setting is 20, as at zero the minimum values become transparent, however, zero is a valid value.
Font
The font to be used in the Footer. The size of the text is taken from this font. If you set a very large value, the texts will disappear sooner as they shrink. If it is set too small, the user may not perceive them. That is why this value is configurable.
Footer text left margin
This is the margin to the left of the text in the Footer boxes.
Width for side text
The width in pixels when the identification text of the Footer columns is on one side.
