Help on DrawRectangle, can't get code with fill or opacity to compile

[VLott]

Hi,

Can someone take a look at this line of code and let me know what's wrong.

I can get the rectangle to draw but when I add parameters to change fill to red and opacity to '2', the code does not compile.

This works:
DrawRectangle("My rectangle" + CurrentBar, 0, EMA(13)[0], -3, EMA(13)[0] + RectangleHeight * TickSize, Color.Red);

But when I add parameters as per DrawRectangle syntax for red areaColor and 2 areaOpacity, it does not compile
DrawRectangle("My rectangle" + CurrentBar, 0, EMA(13)[0], -3, EMA(13)[0] + RectangleHeight * TickSize, Color.Red, Color.Red, 2);

The compile error returned is "No overload for method "DrawRectangle" takes 8 arguments."

Thanks in advance.

Hello VLott,

Thanks for your post.

If you are going to use the opacity you will also need to specify the autoscale bool.

For example:
DrawRectangle("My rectangle" + CurrentBar, true, 0, EMA(13)[0], -3, EMA(13)[0] + RectangleHeight * TickSize, Color.Red, Color.Red, 2);

DrawRectangle(string tag, bool autoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, Color color, Color areaColor, int areaOpacity)
