Serialize indicator plot width

[Hank_R]

I have and indicator in which I cannot save the plot widths in a template. Is there a way to set the plot width in code or to otherwise save the widths as part of a template?

Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Cyan), PlotStyle.Dot, "UpperBlue"));


Thanks in advance

Hello Hank_R,

Thank you for your note.

Yes, you can set a new Pen object for the Plot as below -

Add( new Plot(new Pen(Color.Cyan, 3), PlotStyle.Dot, "UpperBlue"));

The 3 is the width that you would set for this plot

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

That seems to work but is there anyway to set the width smaller than 1? From the chart panel I can set the widths as decimal values but the parameters for Pen the width is defined as an int. It is very frustrating to go to each chart and reset 5 parameters every morning.

Thanks

Hank,

The width settings is based on pixels. You can't have less than a pixel.

While you maybe settings this as double/decimal values they are being adjusted to an Int value.

I got it. It is necessary to format the parameter as a float explicitly.

Add( new Plot(new Pen(Color.Cyan, 0.1F)

Thanks.
