How to create a custom empty pane in WL8 without plotting an indicator? It used to be easy in WL6. I want to use it to present some data, not to plot an indicator.
Also, how to control the height of a Pane? Sometimes it uses too much space?

Panes, when required are created automatically by passing a string for the paneTag parameter in PlotBarHistory, PlotIndicator* and PlotTimeSeries* statements.

For height and pane ordering, use SetPaneDrawingOptions().

What you really want is a custom Data Panel. If you're already a Visual Studio user, you can code one up pretty easily. https://www.wealth-lab.com/Support/ExtensionApi/DataPanelScoreCard

However, you might want to get your WL8 strategy running well before jumping into new WL8 features. You can use DrawHeaderText() and DrawBorderText() on a Chart pane until then.
