Description
smaplot is used to plot a line plot of a moving average. smaplot is a plot routine for a simple moving average. The period of the average defines how many days are incoporated into the average. An SMA is calculated as the total of all prices over the period divided by the period.

The syntax is used to define the starting and ending data points of the plot (a and b), the lookback period (p), the desired color, the line style and the line thickness (t). The available colors, styles and thicknesses available for perplot follow normal O-Matrix standards.

val is the numerical quantity to be plotted, integer, real or double precision.

a, b and p must be integer quantities.

color and style must be input as character values.

Example:
The following example plots a blue, solid, 50 period moving average incorporating the entire range of price data for the calculation.

          smaplot(cp,1,L,50,"blue","solid",5)

Here m is the quantity being plotted in the EAS Charting Window, 1 and L are the starting/ending data points and 50 is the lookback period over which cp was calculated.
