Tables

A table is a panel of cells fixed to a corner of the pane. It is the place for a small summary that should stay put while the chart scrolls.

//@version=5
indicator("Info panel", overlay = true)

var t = table.new(position.top_right, 2, 3, border_color = color.gray, border_width = 1)
table.cell(t, 0, 0, "Panel", text_color = color.white, bgcolor = color.blue)
table.merge_cells(t, 0, 0, 1, 0)
table.cell(t, 0, 1, "Close", text_color = color.white, text_halign = text.align_left)
table.cell(t, 1, 1, str.tostring(close, format.mintick), text_color = color.green, tooltip = "the last close")

Signatures

table.new(position, columns, rows, bgcolor, frame_color, frame_width, border_color, border_width)
table.cell(table, column, row, text, width, height, text_color, text_halign, text_valign, text_size, bgcolor, tooltip)
table.cell_set_*, table.set_*, table.merge_cells, table.clear, table.delete

Behaviour

Columns and rows count from 0. A cell outside the table is an error that names it.
A table sits at a corner or edge of the pane (position.top_left ... bottom_right). A new table replaces the one already at its position, so building one on every bar does not pile them up.
A column is as wide as its widest text. width and height are a percent of the pane instead.
Calling table.cell again changes only the arguments you pass.
The default text colour is light grey, readable on the dark chart, not black as on TradingView.
Hovering a cell that has a tooltip shows it.
