Plot color

[pman777]

Below is an "Add Plot" statement in Initialize() section. Within the OnBarUpdate() section, I want to access the color of this plot (either the default or a user override). How can I do this? tx!



Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.DodgerBlue,3), PlotStyle.Bar, "Filter04"));

Hello pman777,

Thanks for opening the thread.

For accessing the color of the Plot, you can use the PlotColors collection or you can reference the Pen of the Plot in the Plots collection.

The help documentation on PlotColors and Plots describes how you can dynamically change the color for both.

Plots - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help.../nt7/plots.htm

PlotColors - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...plotcolors.htm

If you would like to make a user defined color, you will have to serialize the Color so it can be properly saved in XML format (to save settings when being used.) We have an example that describes the process below.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
