Draw objects

[CuriProgrammer]

Hi guys,

Could you offer me a method which can draw an object (text, rectangle) to a given x axis coordinate? I need different distance between drawn objects, so the fix bars for x axis coordinate are not good for me.

Many thanks!

CuriProgrammer, what you can look into is drawing via custom C# techniques in the overridden Plot method - we would not have much documentation on this flexible yet unsupported technique, however NT comes shipped with an example for advanced coders - it's called the CustomPlotSample is installed per default.

Many thanks for your reply and I want to apologise for my late response..

I can not do my first theory about drawing so I thought over what i want to see.
I want to draw rectangle to the chart. The rectangle's start point could be a bar (like DrawRectangle's startBarsAgo param) but it's end point should be a ratio or a not integer number which represent the width of rectangle.

Thanks for your help!

Hy folks,

I am dealing with the same issue - putting optional lenght rectangles each bars.
I saw an indicator that did the same thing just cant remember wich one was that.

any help would be appreciated

For manually drawn rectangles that would not be possible, but for script drawn ones you can certainly update their end points either via supplying the index or DateTime. I have seen users working successfully with negative bar indices to signify a future bar, althought this technique would not be documented / supported by us. You will need to round / truncate the calcs so it falls on a bar / timestamp value though, to draw finer down to a pixel the plot override C# custom techniques would need to be employed.
