PlotColors changes plot style

[bernie_c]

PlotColors works just fine for changing the colors, however, it also changes my plot lines back to solid. Some of my plot lines are thicker than others. The thickness appears to be unaffected, but the style always reverts back to solid. I am sure it is something simple.

for( i=0; i<6; i++)
{
Values[i].Set( plot_history[i][0] );

if( Rising( Values[i] ) ) PlotColors[i][0] = short_up_color;
else if( Falling( Values[i] ) ) PlotColors[i][0] = short_down_color;
}

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

Can you please post your initialize section where you create the plots? I would like to see what you are doing so I can test this on my end.

If this is a short script you can attach the entire script if you would like, otherwise please provide the lines in your Initialize so I can test this.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

From Initialize()

plot_history = new DataSeries[6];

for( i=0; i<6; i++ )
{
Add( new Plot( short_up_color, PlotStyle.Line, "Plot" + i.ToString() ) );
plot_history[i] = new DataSeries( this );
}

Plots[0 ].Pen.Width = 3;
Plots[0 ].Pen.DashPattern = new float[]{3.0F, 1.0F};

Hello,

Thank you for providing that.

It looks like the PlotColors specifically is overriding the Line to color it so when using a DashStyle it is overridden.

In this situation to both color the plot using PlotColors and use a Dashed line, you would need to use one of the pre-defined types such as Hash, Block, Dot or Cross.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
