[IMPROVE] Add a flag, to all chart commands, allowing the user to set their own titles.

Open deeleeramone opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

In most places chart titles are defined by single variables and do not produce ideal results for formal publication. Screen Shot 2022-05-10 at 7 48 24 PM

When plotting multiple points together, or alternative/custom data, automating titles becomes an unsatisfactory compromise. Some charts are defined by parameters of the command which inserts unwanted information into the title. The intent of the user is diluted, and it impacts the overall presentation within a report.

A flag allowing the user to title any chart as they desire would be ideal. For example,

candle --title "S&P 500 Index - Historical Weekly Returns"

Good idea, we can make this everywhere really with --title

@deeleeramone I can add this as a generic command easily. BUT then we need to slightly modify commands to take this into account, can you let me know in which commands this would make the most sense?

I'd say the ones where you can put multiple time series perhaps like economy. But please provide a list here so I can go ahead and execute!

This should cover a lot of ground, and I realize it's probably a can of worms to open up, but essentially it could be extrapolated to be all charts. Would it also be a good idea to include the credits somewhere in the chart that users cannot switch off like the watermark? i.e. Data from: source. Chart by: OpenBB. Created on: date

candle economy (macro data features) common/ca: historical, hcorr, volume common/qa: line common/pred funds/plot stocks/sia
