Overlapping DrawLines

[mfortnow]

I have 2 DrawLines and sometimes a section of both lines overlaps, which is ok. However, I would like Line B to always overlap Line A in this situation. It seems that as the price fluctuates, sometimes Line A is overlapping Line B, sometimes Line B is overlapping Line A. Seems to change back and forth randomly.

You can run a simple test:

DrawLine("test1", true, 2, High[0], 0, Low[0], Color.Red, DashStyle.Solid, 3);
DrawLine("test2", true, 2, High[0], 0, Low[0], Color.Blue, DashStyle.Solid, 3);

Sometimes the line is red, sometimes it is blue. Shouldn't it always be blue, since that is the second line being drawn? That is what I want, but that is not what is happening. How can I make it so the above code always renders a blue line? Or, what should I add to the code to make it so the line is always blue in this case?

Hello mfortnow,

Thank you for your post.

Unfortunately, there is no method to set the Z-Order which is effecting the drawing objects over lapping each other. This can be manually set but is not something that can be set in the NinjaScript code.

Thanks Patrick. Is there any logic in this situation as to when the line is red or blue, or is it just random?

Hello mfortnow,

Thank you for your response.

It seems this is random for the drawing objects that are drawn at the same time.
