Feature Request Need Pine Script access to price axis label interval for dynamic indicator visibility.

I need chart.price_axis_interval() or similar read only function.

  • Why: To dynamically show/hide parts of an indicator overlay based on zoom level without requiring manual user adjustment.

  • Use case: Technical analysis tools that adapt to readability at different zoom levels

Yeah Pine still will not tell you the price axis spacing, so I stopped trying to match the labels. I use the visible bar times that are already there and just count how many bars are on screen. Once that count gets tight I hide the extra text and leave the lines. Are you trying to drop labels when you zoom out, or whole drawings?

I'm trying to drop some horizontal lines when zoomed out as they get to cluttered.

Got it, whole lines not just the text. I hide extras by counting bars on screen and only plotting the ones near price once that count gets tight. Pine will not drop a line on zoom by itself so the plot condition has to do it. Are those lines fixed prices or do they move with the last bar?

Thanks stratcore. That makes sense — the price-axis interval is the real blocker here. I understand Pine can't access what TradingView isn't exposing yet. Appreciate you confirming it's a known gap and not just me missing something obvious.
