DrawHorizontalLine

[djkiwi]

Hi Guys, I am trying to insert a horizontal line that uses triangle up and triangle down but do not seem to have this option anywhere. Any idea how do I include this would be
appreciated.

DrawHorizontalLine("Line1", false, Close[0]-stop1*TickSize, Color.Magenta, DashStyle.Solid, 4);

Thanks
DJ

Hello,

You would not have control outside of the DashStyle when using DrawHorizontalLine like you have with Plots.

You can always use DrawTriangleUp or DrawTriangleDown to draw these shapes.

You maybe able to accomplish this by overriding the plot style, however we do not have a support NinjaScript method to for doing so.

Thanks Matthew, How would you draw a row of horizontal triangles excatly as you can only set number of bars back and it draws only one triangle. Thanks. DJ

djkiwi,

If you're using the draw triangle, making a single row of this could be pretty resource intensive.

As an alternative, I'd suggest using draw text and "windings 3" as the font, which will allow you to draw an triangle up using "p" and triangle down using "q"

DrawText("UpTriangle" + CurrentBar, false, "ppppp", 0, Close[0]-stop1*TickSize, 0, Color.Magenta, new Font("Wingdings 3",8), StringAlignment.Near, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);
