I do wish they'd get the attribution on that code right. Dirk and I co-wrote it.

Bollinger Bars were designed as a replacement for both Western bars
and Japanese candlesticks. They encode all the information in both
prior charting styles via the use of color in a bar that can be just a
pixel wide--both Western bars and candlesticks must be at least three
pixels wide. Dirk did a really nice job coding them!
