Z order of price markers

[stafe]

i've adapted the Volume indicator and added an average volume line along with a max and min - but i can't figure out how to change the z-order of the price markers so that the average line's price marker is always on top ?
shouldn't i just have to define that plot first ?

what does determine price marker z-order when there are multiple plots in a single indicator with its own panel ?

thanks,

Hello stafe,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, Z-Order cannot be set within the code. The Z-Order is determined by the first object drawn to the last, with the most recent object drawn taking Z-Order level 1.

For information on the Z-Order please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ng_a_chart.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

not sure what you mean "determined by the first object drawn to the last, with the most recent object drawn taking Z-Order level 1"
can you give me an example ?
--- i've got volume bars and 3 lines on one indicator - do you mean that whichever object is updated last is on top ?
--- or are the volume bars and all three lines part of the same object ?
--- these are all in one indicator in its own lower panel -- not on the price panel...

Hello Stafe,

Thank you for your response.

Manually drawn objects will have the most recent object on top with the level 1 of Z-Order. The drawing objects from the script will draw on the same Z-Order level, but with the first drawn object on top. Unfortunately, there is no method to control the Z-Order on drawing objects from the script.

still a little fuzzy on what is considered an "object" - don't really have any C or C# structure theory

would each plot definition in an indicator on panel 2 be considered an object (in this case 5 plots) ?

or would the whole indicator in panel 2 with it's 5 separate plots be considered 1 object ?

Hello stafe,

Thank you for your response.

By 'object' I meant the drawing objects and not plots. However, plots are also added to the same Z-Order. So 5 plots are all on the same Z-Order level.

somehow we got off onto Plot(s) z-order
the question was about Price Marker z-order in post #1
got the answer from someone else...
