point & figure afl file required

can any body please post afl file for point & figure chart.

You can find some approximations to P&F in the AmiBroker library. However, it is not possible to plot a true P&F chart because of an inability to properly control the axis scaling.

hi first of all i dont use P&F,
so what you mean by "it is not possible to plot a true P&F "
can you give us a link of foto with "TRUE P&F" to see the difference?

You can create your own axes using GFX so it is possible.

it is not possible to plot a true P&F chart because of an inability to properly control the axis scaling.

I repeat it is possible just using GFX for creating both axes and creating P&F with GFX. In GFX you can create your own scaling.

Hello trash,

What do u mean by GFX.. Kindly also explain how to learn about P&F CHARTS ???

Thanx you
