Getting sub-shapes on Layer with CreateSelection - vba

Is it possible to use the Page.CreateSelection method to return a selection of all the shapes on a page on a given layer, INCLUDING those that are within groups?
It's easy to get the shapes that are at the page level:
ActivePage.CreateSelection( visSelTypeByLayer , 0 , "GivenLayer" )
but it doesn't seem to work with groups.

CreateSelection can also be used on a group shape to get sub-shapes, but I do not think that you can create a selection of all page shapes and group sub-shapes in a single line. You would need to build up the selection from many CreateSelection calls (one at page, and one for each group shape in the page, etc )

pine script with two indicators one overlaid on the chart and another on its own?

I am trying to write a pine script with two indicators one overlaid on the chart (EMA) and another on its own?(Stoch) I cannot seem to find any info on how to separate these (Visually) but keep them within 1 pine script, ie to be able to take trading decisions based on these.
The earlier answer from Luc is right, unfortunately. Each script can either create plots that are overlaid on the default price chart, or shown in a different pane, but not both. But there is a workaround.
Suppose you've made some non-trivial calculation in your script and you'd like to put it in different pane. E.g. the next code:
//#version=4
study(title="Stochastic", shorttitle="Stoch", format=format.price, precision=2)
periodK = input(14, title="K", minval=1)
periodD = input(3, title="D", minval=1)
smoothK = input(3, title="Smooth", minval=1)
k = sma(stoch(close, high, low, periodK), smoothK)
d = sma(k, periodD)
plot(k, title="%K", color=color.blue)
plot(d, title="%D", color=color.orange)
h0 = hline(80)
h1 = hline(20)
fill(h0, h1, color=color.purple, transp=75)
// This next plot would work best in a separate pane
someNonTrivialCalculatedSeries = close
plot(ema(someNonTrivialCalculatedSeries, 25), title="Exporting Plot")
Because they have different scale, one of them most likely will break another indicator's scale.
So you'd like show Stoch in different pine, whereas ema() should be overlayed with the main chart. For that you should make the next steps:
Turn off in the study's the extra plot to return scale to normal:
Apply to the chart the next script:
//#version=4
study("NonOverlayIndicator", overlay=true)
src = input(defval=close, type=input.source)
plot(src)
Choose in the second's script inputs source required plot from the first script:
And voilà - you got the plots in different pines:
But if you want split the plots because you have retrictions on amount of studies you allowed to apply (e.g. 3 for free-account) - that won't help you.
It cannot be done. A script runs either in overlay=true mode on the chart, in which case it cannot direct plots elsewhere, or in a separate pane when overlay=false (the default).
When the script is running in a pane, it can change the color of the chart bars using barcolor(), but that's the only way it can modify the chart.
It is possible to rescale signals so that multiple bounded (e.g., 0-100, -1 to +1) signals generated by one script appear one on top of the other, but this is typically impossible in overlay mode, as the vertical scale varies with the bars on the chart. The only way for an overlay script to work with its own scale is when it uses No scale, but this prevents the indicator's plots to plot relative to price, and so the chart's bars.
Nice workaround from Michael.
Unfortunately, this only seems to work to pass data for one plot.
I would like to pass data for 3 different plots to the stock price graph.
If I try this, for 'input.source' I can only select the standard sources: "open, high, low, close ...". I can not select the data from other indicators.
If I remove plots 2 and 3, it works as Michael described.
Anybody has a workaround for the workaround..? ;-)

Cytoscape.js selecting collapsed nodes

I’ trying to build a Petri Net with Cytoscape.js, using Dagre.js layout and compound nodes for representing places witch in turns are subnets.
I’ using Expand-Collapse extension (Dagre layout) , starting with an overall collapsed network. As the net evolve, I need to update data on every node, including children of collapsed nodes witch users may decide to expand or not .
Here is the issue: I’ not able to select nodes inside collapsed ones nor I can test with IsParent() or any other function applying to compound nodes including slector like “node > node”. Any idea ?
Thanks.
You can't change state of elements that aren't in the graph. Modify them after you add them back (.restore()) to the graph instead.

Does mvc 4 application need another model to return aggregate data on an existing table and model

I have a table (and model) with the following properties in an asp.net MVC 4 application:
TV Table
height
width
depth
type
brand
cost
When the user answes a question about the space that they have for the TV I then do an ajax call to determine which types are possible to fit into the space they have specified. Which type of TV type they want is the following question, so some options may need to be disabled. The SQL for what types fit in the space is "select distinct type from TV where height < #height and width < #width and depth < #depth".
Should I:
1. create a new model that I call from the TV controller just to return the distinct types
2. add a method to the TV model that I call from the TV controller that just returns a list of string with the types that fit
Depends on what you want to display to the user based on her selection' e. g.
If you want to display TV name + its description then returning a list of TV model will make sense.
If you are just going to display a list of TV names in combo box, then returning a list of string will suffice.
Calling a new action make sense in both cases IMHO.
EDIT:
For 2 - I want to return a list of string - should I create a new data model for this, or add a method in the existing TV data model that returns a list of string?
To expand on above query, since its not clear (at least I do not visualize it) from your question i will assume few things.
Case 1: You are displaying a view say "TVSelection" to the user that does not contain list of TVModels. In this view you are expecting user to enter three values i.e. Width, Height, Depth. Now when user enter these values, she can submit the form or you can fetch the TV Brand name list on Lost Focus event as well. In any case, the question would be are you updating existing view by populating the combo box or you are displaying a new view. I am assuming you are updating existing "TVSelection" view by the means of making an AJAX call. In that case you can just call a method on your controller (which displayed the "TVSelection" view) that returns a list of TV Brand names.
Case 2: You are displaying "TVSelection" view that already has a list of TVModel objects and you update it dynamically on selection of required field (filtering). In this case you can add a method in the TVModel itself to filter names only that matches the user selection.
I found these links relevant 1 & 2.
Hope that make sense.
Please add more details to your question if this does not answer your question.

Legend options in Stata graphs

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/339/41988730.jpg/
I'm trying to figure out how to tweak the options for the legend in this graph (see link above). Specifically I'd like the new = part of the label to disappear. Next to each line I'd like just the name of the company. I'm using the xtline command to generate the graph. Each line on the graph should represent a distinct value of the variable "company" (there should be 11 distinct values).
xtline revenue, overlay t(week_name) i(company)
Thanks!
Use the label() sub-option of the legend() option. Here's the example on p. 474 of the Stata 12 manual:
line le_m le_f year, legend(label(1 "Males") label(2 "Females"))
You can also use the order() sub-option to order the legend entries according to the order of the curves on the graph. Type "help graph legend" for more information and links to the Manual.
However I don't find legends with so many entries to be helpful. You'd have a more readable plot if you specify "legend(off)"; "yscale(log)"; and add the appropriate label next to each curve with the Graph Editor.

ListView containing GridViews and ListViews

I have a requirement to create a xaml page with Semantic Zoom where the zoomed in view contains both GridViews and ListViews. I have started out with the basic Grid Application template.
In order to try to achieve this, I have made the Semantic Zoom control's zoomed in view show a list view, and the list view contains the ListView and GridView controls I need to actually show the data as ListViewItems. This works, up to a point - the issue is that the mouse-down or tap animations happen on the whole child control of the parent ListView instead of the child's elements. This sort of layout would be simple if I didn't need to support semantic zoom.
So, my question is is this the best way to achieve this sort of layout, or am I missing something. If this is the best way, is it possible to control the behaviour so that the child item elements have the correct animation effect on selection?
Additional Info
The choice of GridView or ListView is based on the type of the items in the collections. In this example, grp 1, 3 and 4 (to be shown in grids) are all collections of type NewsFull and the remainder (to show in Lists) are of type HeadlineOnly, both types inherit from NewsBase.
The page layout (zoomed in) should be something like this...
Title
grp 1 grp 2 grp 3 grp 4 grp 5
[g][g][g][g] [_list item_] [g][g][g][g][g] [g][g][g] [_list_item_]
[g][g][g][g] [_list item_] [g][g][g][g][g] [g][g][g] [_list_item_]
[g][g][g][g] [_list item_] [g][g][g][g] [g][g] [_list_item_]
[g][g][g] [_list item_] [g][g][g][g] [g][g]
where [g] is a grid view item, and [_list_item_] is a list view item.
Zoomd out view is like this...
Title
grp 1 grp 2 grp 3 grp 4 grp 5
[summary] [summary] [summary] [summary] [summary]
Perhaps you can try using the ItemContainerStyleSelector to swap out the container of the items based on the item type or similar? This way, may be you can set one group to have a wrapping layout container and another can just be a stackpanel?
the design looks reasonable to me. the issue you have is merely " is it possible to control the behaviour so that the child item elements have the correct animation effect on selection?"
the problem here is that you probably lack abstraction here regarding different levels of UI object. I would assume you wrote this big control simply using one xaml object and then messed up with the style setup. In my opinion, you will need to break your UI to these levels of components:
ZoomPage // which is essentially a list
GroupElement // which could be GRID object or list object depending on the DATACONTEXT
GroupElement // which also has a summary state.
what you specified definitely can be achieved, looks to me just the styles are not deployed properly, if indeed your control is too complex, break it down, and test them separately.
hope this helps
