Setting Plot Color using Plot Object

[BAltman]

Hi,

I create a new plot with this code:

Plot myPlot = new Plot(Color.Black, PlotStyle.Line, "MyPlotName);

I want to change the plot line color to green:

myPlot.Pen = new Pen(Color.Green); // This does NOT work

Plots[0],Pen = new Pen(Color.Green); // This works

I would like to refer to the plot by name (not index) - what am I doing wrong ?

Thanks In Advance,

Bob A.

To clarify, are you looking to dynamically change the plot color based on certain conditions?

If so you'd have to use the Index value from the collection of Plot objects as per the following link:

Yes, I'm looking to change the color dynamically based on certain conditions.

I have lots of plot lines in this custom indicator, and I would rather reference them by name instead of index (in case I add one in the middle later...)

Have you defined the access properties for the Plot?

[BAltman]

Would you explain what you mean by "access properties for the plot" ?

In the Plot Class Definition help page, the only properties are Min and Max...

Can you modify the Plot properties from the PropertyGrid, when you load the indicator on to a chart?
