Can I move a plot parameter?

[cassb]

When I use a plot object/series in an indicator, its color/size/dashstyle get put into a "Plot" section on the indicator properties panel. Is there a way to move that to another section? I tried the "Category" property, but that didn't change anything.

Thanks!

Hi cassb,

Thanks for your post and sorry for this late reply.

Unfortunately this is not possible.

Have a great weekend!

OK thanks, Bertrand.

And I'm going to hijack my own thread here and ask another question about plots. I have a couple objects, lines and text, in my indicator that I want to be the same color as the plot. So I put the following code into the Initialize tag:

            Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Green), 2), PlotStyle.Dot, "Plot"));

            lineColor = Plots[0].Pen.Color;    // Make the lines the same color as the plot
            textColor = Plots[0].Pen.Color;   // Make the labels the same color as the plot

This works fine if I keep the default color of Green. But if I change the plot color in the properties dialog to something else, the Line and Text color still stays green. How do I set the color of these objects to whatever the user selected for the plot color?

Thanks!

Try moving the color assignment code into the top of the OnBarUpdate() method and see if that makes a difference.

Ha, I knew you'd say that, and it did not make a difference. Maybe I'm using the Plots[0].Pen.Color wrong or I should use some other property?
