◼ Overview
This is a demonstration of dual logging library I have ported from my personal use for public use. Please start bar replay from Bar#4, and progress automatically slowly or manually.You would need to go through 450+ bars to see the full capability.
Logger=A dual logging library for developers. Tradingview lacks logging capability. This library provided logging while developing your scripts and is to be used by developers when developing and debugging their scripts.
Using this library would potentially slow down you scripts. Hence, use this for debugging only. Once your code is as you would like it to be, remove the logging code.
◼︎ Usage (Console):
Console = A sleek single cell logging with a limit of 4096 characters. When you dont need a large logging capability.
//@version=5
indicator("demo.Console", overlay=true)
plot(na)
import GETpacman/log/2 as logger
var console = logger.log.new()
console.init() // init() should be called as first line after variable declaration
console.FrameColor:=color.green
console.log('\n')
console.log('\n')
console.log('Hello World')
console.log('\n')
console.log('\n')
console.ShowStatusBar:=true
console.StatusBarAtBottom:=true
console.FrameColor:=color.blue //settings can be changed anytime before show method is called. Even twice. The last call will set the final value
console.ShowHeader:=false //this wont throw error but is not used for console
console.show(position=position.bottom_right) //this should be the last line of your code, after all methods and settings have been dealt with.
◼︎ Usage (Logx):
Logx = Multiple columns logging with a limit of 4096 characters each message. When you need to log large number of messages.
//@version=5
indicator("demo.Logx", overlay=true)
plot(na)
import GETpacman/log/2 as logger
var logx = logger.log.new()
logx.init() // init() should be called as first line after variable declaration
logx.FrameColor:=color.green
logx.log('\n')
logx.log('\n')
logx.log('Hello World')
logx.log('\n')
logx.log('\n')
logx.ShowStatusBar:=true
logx.StatusBarAtBottom:=true
logx.ShowQ3:=false
logx.ShowQ4:=false
logx.ShowQ5:=false
logx.ShowQ6:=false
logx.FrameColor:=color.olive //settings can be changed anytime before show method is called. Even twice. The last call will set the final value
logx.show(position=position.top_right) //this should be the last line of your code, after all methods and settings have been dealt with.
◼︎ Fields (with default settings)
▶︎ IsConsole = True Log will act as Console if true, otherwise it will act as Logx
