Erasing old plots AND getting a color from a Plot

[ballboy11]

Is there a way one can erase old data plots. I created target lines and I want to erase the old target lines on my chart.

Second is there a way to get a Color from a addPlot. I created Draw.Text and I want the text the same color as my AddPlot.

Hello ballboy11,

Did you manually draw these target lines or were they applied as part of your script?

Regarding having the same color for Draw.Text as well as AddPlot, you could pass the same color to both the plot and the text, for example,

Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, PlotStyle.Line, ""))
DrawText("tag1", "Text to draw", 10, 1000, Color.Blue);

I look forward to your reply.

passing colors to text

I understand the statement, but what if in the parameters on changes from blue to red, will the text stay blue? I just want to inherit the plot color. I have 15 different plots to manage

Hello ballboy11,

If you wanted to tie together your text and plot color you could declare a Color variable and set the plot color as well as text color to that variable.

I have attached a strategy which demonstrates this.
