I am learning NinjaScript, (slowly) and have found something I don't understand in the supplied indicators, e.g. the SMA. I cannot find a Plot instruction anywhere. Is there an explanation of this that anyone can point me at please? I have written some simple indicators now, and as far as I am aware, I have to use Plot to get them on the screen.

Absent Plot instruction
Hello.
I am learning NinjaScript, (slowly) and have found something I don't understand in the supplied indicators, e.g. the SMA. I cannot find a Plot instruction anywhere. Is there an explanation of this that anyone can point me at please? I have written some simple indicators now, and as far as I am aware, I have to use Plot to get them on the screen.Tags: None

I see, Plot is not an instruction, but just a sort of specification object that describes how a plot will look, and Value.Set will plot the associated DataSeries.
If that is the case, how come I can say Plot0.set(........
and get a plot of ........ ? Surely I should have to say Value.Set ?
I thought at first that this was connected to the Add statement because the Wizard set it to :-
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
but if I replace "Plot0" in this statement with "Fred", or whatever, and recompile, it has no effect whatever. So what does "Plot0" do in the Add instruction.
I have done a bit of object oriented programing, I can program in Visual C++, but this is downright confusing.
