Creating a Custom Chart Style And Need To Determine A Brush's Color

[Jim W.]

Creating a Custom Chart Style and need to determine brush's color.

I have searched NinjaScript documentation and distributed ChartStyles and can't find an explanation or example.

. . .
Brush overriddenOutlineBrush = chartControl.GetCandleOutlineOverrideBrush(chartBa rs, idx);
. . .
Brush b = overriddenOutlineBrush ?? Stroke.BrushDX;
. . .
if ( ) // How do I test if brush b's color is transparent?
. . .

Hello Jim W.,

You could check the WPF brush properties to get their string, transparent has a string of #00FFFFFF. Here are a few examples:

Print(UpBrush.ToString().Equals("#00FFFFFF"));

if(Stroke.Brush.ToString().Equals("#00FFFFFF"))

I am not aware of a way to extract the color information from the DXBrush objects, the override brush or brushes in OnRender which are converted would likely be unable to retrieve if the color is transparent.


I look forward to being of further assistance.

Jesse,

Thanks! Just what I needed.

BTW This tread shows 0 responses, even after your reply. Screenshot attached.
Is this a known problem?

Hello Jim W.,

I am not sure why that would not be updating, it may take some time to update.
