I have an indie with several buffers which I don't want drawn, but want the buffer values stored and arrayed of course. How can I get it to NOT DRAW anything for these buffer values?

Pipologist-
You can use DRAW_NONE.
See this TDI RedGreen mod for an example.

Thank you cyber1. That was easy.

For reference, it's

SetIndexStyle(0,DRAW_NONE);

where 0 = buffer number

Inserted Code
#property indicator_buffers 2                       // 2 buffers to be drawn
 
double CalcA[],CalcB[],DrawA[],DrawB[];
 
int OnInit()
  {
   IndicatorBuffers(4);                             // 4 buffers in total
   SetIndexBuffer(0, DrawA, INDICATOR_DATA);        // Actually drawn  
   SetIndexBuffer(1, DrawB, INDICATOR_DATA);        // Actually drawn  
   SetIndexBuffer(2, CalcA, INDICATOR_CALCULATIONS);// Only used for calc
   SetIndexBuffer(3, CalcB, INDICATOR_CALCULATIONS);// Only used for calc
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }
