Control Line style from indicator

[photog53]

I am drawing a simple line in an indicator....which works well.

The problem comes when I try to tell indicator to draw a 'dash-dot-dot'
instead of a solid line.
When I try to add DashStyle parameter to the command....(see below)

Add(new Line(Color.DimGray, DashStyle.DashDotDot, -100, "Level -1"));

I get an error saying that I have too many arguments.

I'm getting a mental blank on this...and for some reason can't figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks.............

Hi photog53,

You can add the DashStyle after the Add line, within Initialize()

Something like...

Add(new Line(Color.DimGray, -100, "Level -1"));
Lines[0].Pen.DastStyle=DashStyle.DashDotDot

Thanks!!
....(probably should have thought of that, but for some reason I couldn't get the concept right)

One more quick question....If I am drawing mulitple lines, will the "pen" command
apply to all of them or only one specific line?


As always, you guys are great!!

Hi photog53,


This will be specific to that line or plot.

For example...

Add(new Line(Color.DimGray, -0, "Level 1"));
Add(new Line(Color.DimGray, -100, "Level 2"));

Lines[0].Pen.DastStyle=DashStyle.DashDotDot;
Lines[1].Pen.DastStyle=DashStyle.Dash;
