Any way to increase the size of a DrawDot()?

[DancesWithBears]

My Dot is too small and doesn't stand out.

Hi DancesWithBears, unfortunately it isn't possible to increase the size of the dot. A workaround would be changing fonts for draw objects and DrawText() with the string ".".

Please see the attached picture for the syntax.

#region Variables
// 48 is the font size, and it might be too large. I haven't tested.
private Font    largeFont = new Font("Arial", 48);
#endregion

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    DrawText("myDot" + CurrentBar, true, ".", 0, High[0] + 2 * TickSize, Color.Black, largeFont, StringAlignment.Near, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);
}

Any suggestions for drawing a large dot in NT7 as is method gives me an error and says that largeFont does not exist.

Hello wtdtrader,

Thank you for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forum!

Are you defining the Font as in Austin's example? Can you provide your code to look into this further?

I look forward to your response.

I was able to find a solution from another thread.

DrawText("DOT" + CurrentBar, true, "l", 0, High[0] + 7, 0, Color.LimeGreen, new Font("Wingdings", 32),StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 100);
