Modifying drawn lines from NinjaScript

[Zzoom]

Hi guys,

Can you give answers to the following...

1. Manually drawn lines/objects can/cannot be modified within NinjaScript.

2. If a line/object is drawn from within a Ninjascript Indicator, when the Indicator is removed from the chart, the line/object is also removed from the chart - is there anyway around this...

Many Thanks.

Correct Zzoom, both outcomes would be expected here. For 2 what could be controlled is if the drawings could be manually removed with the indicator running or not.

Okay....

What I am trying to do is maintain a set of shared drawn lines within different installations of NT.

From what you are saying, there is no way around having a "maintain objects" NinjaScript running on all charts at all times, otherwise I will lose the lines.

I was hoping to avoid having the script running on all charts all the time, is there any way around this?

Is there any way objects drawn within Ninjascript can be left on the chart if the indicator/strategy used to draw the objects is removed from the chart?

You are correct in understanding here, would not really be aware of a workaround. The lines are associated with the script and could not be persisted standalone in the workspace. I don't know how much you generate from the script, but perhaps recreating the lines once calc'ed from the script via the manual drawing tools and making them global could be of help - this way the objects would be then saving in the workspaces and populated on all charts of the same symbol (you can take out any individual chart via the DataSeries property to show Global objects or not).

I can code around it.

Its just that it will take more effort, and I was hoping to avoid it !

Thanks.
