# Vertical Indicators

Indicators can be arranged vertically, through the use of the parameter *vertical*. Each column of indicators is using the same methods as the [grouped indicators](/dev/elements/charts/indicators/grouped-indicators.md), so the function will return the next available order.

This allows the user to create a column of indicators, using a [bentobox](broken://pages/dadvKRrogrNNufQovFK6) with the provided cols\_size (that by default is 12), and including the indicators inside. 

This option has no limit of indicators and will continue to grow vertically. To use this feature, pass *True* to the *vertical* parameter when calling the indicator function.  Additionally, a title can be added to the top of the bentobox by passing a string to the same parameter *vertical* (If its set to *True* it will arrange them vertically but will not set any title).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Adding a title will use one more position of the grid, the next available order will be n+1.
{% endhint %}

An example would be:

```python
data_ = [{
    "color": "success",
    "variant": "contained",
    "description": "This indicator has a Link",
    "targetPath": "/indicators/indicator/1",
    "title": "Target Indicator",
    "align": "left",
    "value": "500€",
}, {
    "color": "warning",

    "variant": "outlined",

    "align": "left",
    "value": "Value",

    "color": "error",

    "title": "Error indicator",

    "title": "Multiple cases",
    "align": "right",
    "value": "Value",
    "icon": "Line/download",
    "bigIcon": "Line/calendar",
}]

order = s.plt.indicator(
    data=data_ + data_, vertical="Title of the indicators",
    order=0, rows_size=1, cols_size=6,
)
order = s.plt.indicator(
    data=data_, vertical=True,
    order=order, rows_size=2, cols_size=4,
)
s.plt.indicator(
    data=data_[0], vertical="Title of the indicator",
    order=order, rows_size=8, cols_size=2,
)
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shimoku.com/dev/elements/charts/indicators/vertical-indicators.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
