method · ChartArea · cAlgo.API

DesktopCLICloud

Draws an equidistant channel.

Environment behaviour

CLI — works differently. The object is created and returned, but never drawn: the CLI displays no chart.

Cloud — works differently. The object is created and returned, but never drawn: the cloud displays no chart.
