Changing line color based on indicator

[ssg10]

I tried to change line color using the following but it won't change. Any idea?

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, PlotStyle.Line, "L2"));
...
}

....
if(Close[0] < (currentLow+todayFlip) && Close[0] < priordayClose)
{
Print("red");
Plots[0].Pen = new Pen(Color.Red);
}
else
{
Print("blue");
Plots[0].Pen = new Pen(Color.Blue);
}

ssg10,

as of now, you cannot do it in that fashion. I believe this changes in NT 7.0.

Either way, you have to have a new plot for each color,

so to get what you want...

}
 
....

{
   Print([/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000]"red"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]);
   //set L2c1 here
[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]   L2c1.Set(somevalue);
   //if its a LINE plot, you may have to connect the two depending on your application
   L2c1.Set(1, somevalue[1]);
}
[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]else
[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]{
[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]   //set L2c2 here
[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]   L2c2.Set(somevalue);
   //if its a LINE plot, you may have to connect the two depending on your application
   L2c2.Set(1, somevalue[1]);[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]
}
[/SIZE][/FONT]

I believe there is an NT reference sample of this.

Thanks for the help mrlogik, here's the reference sample for multicolored plots ssg10 - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3227

[ssg10]

Thanks!

How do we refer to the plot object to change its property?

Add(new Plot(Color.Red, PlotStyle.Line, "L2c1"));

will L2c1.Set work, because we define above "L2c1" ?

[ssg10]

From the sample code provided, I got a question.

RisingPlot.Set(1, SMA(Period)[1]);

Where is RisingPlot object created?

It's a property of a your indicator class

Since you have added this Plot in the first spot it can be referred to as Values[0]. If it is defined as "L2c1" in your Properties section you can then call it by that name.

ssg10, please expand the properties section of the SampleMultiColoredPlot script, then you see the 'linking' of RisingPlot to Values[0] and so on for the other ones...
