Syntax for Adding DashStyle and Width for plot

[commodity_trader]

Hi Support,

How do I add DashStyle and Width to a plot in a ninjascript. For example, if I want to add a plot, can it be done like this:

Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Red),DashStle .Dot, PlotStyle.Line, Width.2,"Line" ));

I want to add it in the ninjascript itself,so that I need not adjust the dash style and width when I load the indicator on a chart.

Thanks

Hi commodity_trader,

To do this you would do the following:

Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Red, 3), PlotStyle.Line, "Line"));
Plots[0].Pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dot;

The Plots[x] would correspond to whichever plot you wanted DashStyle to be adjusted on.

Thanks Josh, just tried it , it worked.

If I want to define several plots, with the same Penstyle and width, is it like possible to define the pen style before hand and use it in the plot. How does one define pen style?

Can I do something like this:
Add(new Plot(RedPen), PlotStyle.Line, "Line"));

where in RedPen is already somehow defined as a Pen with color Red width 2, and dash style Dot?

Pen RedPen = new Pen(Color.Red, 2);
Add(new Plot(RedPen, PlotStyle.Line, "Line"));
