OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT

How to Reposition A Table Cell

291
OVERVIEW
Using table functions in Pine Script is one of the most effective methods for reporting and interpreting data in a readable manner. However, the built-in capabilities for dynamically repositioning table location are limited. To extend these limitations, a small intervention to the script may be required. This indicator exemplifies how such intervention can be modeled.

CONCEPTS
This indicator provides comprehensive control over table positioning through several user-defined parameters that work together to create flexible display options.

Text Parameters : These five string inputs allow users to define the content displayed in the table. Each parameter accepts custom text that will be displayed as separate rows within the table cell. (The relevant parameters are designed as examples. When implementing the code into your own scripts, you can use series string variables instead of the those inputs.)

Horizontal Offset : This integer parameter controls the horizontal positioning of the table content. Negative values shift the table content to the left, while positive values move it to the right. The offset is multiplied by a spacing factor (currently set to 4) to provide more noticeable movement. This parameter is particularly useful when you need to avoid overlapping with other chart elements or align multiple indicators.

Vertical Offset : This integer parameter manages the vertical positioning by adding line breaks above or below the content. Negative values push the content downward by adding line breaks at the beginning, while positive values elevate the content by adding line breaks at the end. This creates effective vertical spacing without affecting the table's base position.

Table Position : This parameter accepts values from 1 to 9, corresponding to the standard TradingView table positions arranged in a 3x3 grid format (1-3: top row, 4-6: middle row, 7-9: bottom row). This serves as the base positioning before any offset adjustments are applied, providing users with familiar reference points for initial placement.

FUNCTION
The core functionality centers on the custom f_position() function, which processes text positioning based on horizontal and vertical offset values. For vertical positioning, it adds line breaks before or after content depending on the offset direction. For horizontal positioning, it splits the text by rows and adds calculated spaces to each row, maintaining proper alignment across multi-line content. The spacing uses a fixed multiplier of 4, providing good balance between precision and visible movement.

ORIGINALITY & NOTES
Tihs indicator,
  • introduces a novel approach to table positioning that goes beyond TradingView's standard 9-position limitation by implementing custom offset calculations that allow pixel-level control over table placement.
  • serves as an educational resource, demonstrating advanced Pine Script techniques for UI manipulation that can be adapted for various custom indicator developments.
  • is particularly valuable for developers creating complex dashboard layouts or educational materials where precise positioning is crucial. The modular design of the positioning function makes it easily adaptable for other projects requiring similar functionality.
