Draw.VerticalLine redrawing.

[n0_namer]

Hello.

I'm trying to redraw two existing vertical lines using this code:

		protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
			if (Bars.IsFirstBarOfSession && ToDay(Time[0]) == ToDay(DateTime.Now)) {
				line1 = Draw.VerticalLine(this, "Line1", new DateTime([B]2016,9,15,10,29,43[/B]), Brushes.Red, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 2, true);
				line2 = Draw.VerticalLine(this, "Line2", new DateTime([B]2016,9,15,10,30,07[/B]), Brushes.Blue, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 2, true);
				
			}	
		}

		protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
		{
			if(!chartScale.IsVisible)
			    return;
				
			DateTime timeToCheck = new DateTime(2016,9,15,12,30,00);
			 
			// Find the chart-canvas x-coordinate of the bar at the specified time
			int xCoordinate = chartControl.GetXByTime(timeToCheck);
			DateTime dt1 = chartControl.GetTimeByX(xCoordinate-2);
			DateTime dt2 = chartControl.GetTimeByX(xCoordinate+2);
			
			// Print the x-coordinate value
			Print("xCoordinate " + xCoordinate);
			Print("Time-2 " + dt1);
			Print("Time+2 " + dt2);
			
			[B]line1.StartAnchor.Time[/B] 	= dt1;
			[B]line2.StartAnchor.Time[/B] 	= dt2;
			
		}

As you can see on screenshot Anchor Time has been changed, but the lines 1and 2 are situated at the centre of a bars.

If you comment the lines with StartAnchor.Time changing, lines on chart would be drawn correctly (see 2nd screenshot).

What I'm doing wrong?

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I took a look at the script provided and do see a difference between when you Call the drawing tool and set a date time:

line1 = Draw.VerticalLine(this, "Line1", new DateTime(2016,9,15,12,30,05), Brushes.Red, DashStyleHelper.Solid, 2, true);

Versus:

line1.StartAnchor.Time 	= new DateTime(2016,9,15,12,30,05);

I will need to do further research to see what specifically is different between adjusting the Anchor, and how the actual Draw. method works. Once I have further information on this I will reply back.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
