Quick Question - Color Disappears on Reload

[jmflukeiii]

My range bar close marker draws two lines at the projected closes of the current range bar. I have these colored using:

private Color markercolor = Color.Blue;

DrawLine("upper",false,-1,upper,1,upper,markercolor,DashStyle.Solid,thickness)

This works fine when I add it to a chart initially. But say I close NT down, and then open it up again, the color is now gone. I click into indicators from the chart, and the place to choose the color is just blank.

Any ideas? I'm sure there is a simple something I'm forgetting...

Thanks -

You're using colors as inputs?

You need to serialize them perhaps?

That's the only thing I can think of at the moment.

Excellent thank you. All fixed up -

You do seem surprised that I did it this way. Is there a better way to have done it? I though about plots set to hash, but I only care about the current bar, and don't want the plots to plot in the past.

jmflukeiii, same you would have to do for a custom color used as input for a plot. You could call .Reset on those to then only set a value on for specific bars, but I think your approach is just fine.
