Custom saved drawing tool template as a button?

[zachiatrist]

Not able to find anything like this.. but is there a way or an add-on that allows me to put buttons at the top, or even floating.. that would have saved template drawing tools? For example... I have boxes that are different colors for different reasons... its kind of annoying to have to make a box, right click it.. go to properties.. change the template to one of my saved templates, apply..

Can we have some way to make a bar of our own buttons with template specific assigned drawing tools? Button for a red box, button for a green box.. button for a yellow box... etc. etc. ?

Hello zachiatrist ,

Below is a link to a few example indicators that add buttons.

Yes, when calling a Draw method there will be an overload with a parameter where you can supply a template name.
Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, string templateName)
