Can we set a reference to a custom drawing tool

[trendisyourfriend]

Hi,

I'd like to know if we can do something similar to this but with a custom drawing tool:

Using a native drawing tool we can create a variable to hold a reference to a drawing object and manipulate it.
Rectangle myRec = Draw.Rectangle(this, "tag1", 10, Low[10] - TickSize, 5, High[5] + TickSize, Brushes.Blue);

But with a custom drawing tool such as the DrawingTools.HorizontalRay2, i would not know how to proceed or if it is even posssible.

I have attached the custom drawing tool if needed.

Hello trendisyourfriend, thanks for writing in.

There must be custom constructors made in order to do this. See the default drawing tools as an example, e.g. in the "Lines" drawing tool script, there is a collection of constructors for each line type at the bottom of the script, see the "// ray overloads" section as an example.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
