Create a Drawing Tool to draw a line in all Charts

[artson]

Hi,

I want to create a DrawingTool, which will create some lines.

I want to draw these lines in all Charts of its instrument.

Is it possible?

Thanks!!!

Hello artson,

Yes, please double click the drawing object to open its properties menu. Set "Attach to" to "instrument name (All charts)" and click OK. The drawing object will now show in all charts with the same instrument.

Ok, sorry,
I want to create programmatically a DrawingTool, wich will do some calculations and draw some lines, and I want, that these lines are shown in all Charts from the instrument.

Hello artson,
You can use below syntax:-

Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int startBarsAgo, double startY, int endBarsAgo, double endY, bool isGlobal, string templateName)
Draw.Line(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, DateTime startTime, double startY, DateTime endTime, double endY, bool isGlobal, string templateName)

Hope it helps!

Thanks "s.kinra", but I don't mean creating an indicator, I want it through a DrawingTool:

RenderTarget.DrawLine(r1Vect, r2Vect, StrokeLineaRechazo.BrushDX, StrokeLine.Width, StrokeLine.StrokeStyle);

There is no possibility for a "Global".....

Hello arston,
If you wish to draw a line similar to existing line tool add on, you can save a default template with <IsGlobalDrawingObjectDefault>true</IsGlobalDrawingObjectDefault>.
So, every time you draw a new line its global. Hope it helps!

Thanks again "s.kinra"

With my drawingtool I will select some points and my tool will draw several lines.
It is a tedious task to draw later these lines and change their properties to make them global.

Maybe there is a posibility of making, that my calculated lines will be present on all Charts without having to do it manually.....

Hi artson, thanks for posting.

The template will need to be set to globalize the drawing tool. IsGlobalDrawingTool needs to be set through the template because it's not possible to set it programmatically.

Kind regards

Ok,

Thanks!

Hello arston,
You need to set the template only once, so every time you create a line it will be global. No need to do it again & again, its one time activity.
Hope it helps!

Ok, good tip!, you are right!
