access to initial colors of DataSeries

[rouckya]

Hello, how to access programmatically to initial colors of the DataSeries ?

That is to say, I don't waynt to repaint bars using CandleOutlineColor or BarColor, I just want to retrieve the colors set from the DataSeries field of the chart as shown here on my screenshot.



Thanks for your help

Hello,

This script here shows how you can have user defined color inputs:

You will need to handle them different from standard inputs as they will need to be serialized

It sounds like this is not what your looking for but for setting bar color or outline properties:

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Hi Lance,

Indeed that's not what I'm looking for.

Let's say I would like to be able to write something like that : CandleOutlineColor = color of the Wick from DataSeries/ChartStyle panel (as shown on my initial picture)

I'm trying to access that term in bold

Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a way to access this property without getting an Empty color to return.

The only supported way I can think of would be to use your own color inputs and set the outline/candle color based on those inputs instead of the data series inputs.
