Reference to colors

[tomasak]

Hi all,
I try to develop script, that will sort "peaks" to different levels. Idea is like "small peak Level 1", "biger peak Level 2". Peaks in levels will be connected by lines with different colors. Level 1 red, Level 2 blue, .... I use for this purpose loop FOR and condition IF. It works perfect, but I would like to make it a little bit simple...
This is example of current solution:

for(int m = 1; m<10 ; m++)
{
if(Test_A <= Test_B && Test_B > Test_C)
{
vrcholy[Test_B_ID,3] = m+1;
if(m==1)
{
vrcholy_urovne[0,4] = vrcholy_urovne[0,6];
vrcholy_urovne[0,5] = vrcholy_urovne[0,7];
vrcholy_urovne[0,6] = vrcholy[Test_B_ID,1];
vrcholy_urovne[0,7] = Test_B;

Draw.Line(this,"lineM" + vrchol_B_ID, false, CurrentBar - Convert.ToInt32(vrcholy_urovne[0,4]),vrcholy_urovne[0,5], CurrentBar - Convert.ToInt32(vrcholy_urovne[0,6]), vrcholy_urovne[0,7], Brushes.Orange, DashStyleHelper.Dot, 2);
Draw.Dot(this, "X"+CurrentBar+BTAdjust+ m, false,CurrentBar-Convert.ToInt32(vrcholy[Test_B_ID,1]), vrcholy[Test_B_ID,2]+ 5* TickSize , Brushes.Orange);
}
if(m==2)
{
vrcholy_urovne[0,8] = vrcholy_urovne[0,10];
vrcholy_urovne[0,9] = vrcholy_urovne[0,11];
vrcholy_urovne[0,10] = vrcholy[Test_B_ID,1];
vrcholy_urovne[0,11] = Test_B;

Draw.Line(this,"lineM2" + vrchol_B_ID, false, CurrentBar - Convert.ToInt32(vrcholy_urovne[0,8]),vrcholy_urovne[0,9], CurrentBar - Convert.ToInt32(vrcholy_urovne[0,10]), vrcholy_urovne[0,11], Brushes.Lime, DashStyleHelper.Dot, 2);
Draw.Dot(this, "Y"+CurrentBar+BTAdjust+ n, false,CurrentBar-Convert.ToInt32(vrcholy[Test_B_ID,1]), vrcholy[Test_B_ID,2]+ 7 * TickSize , Brushes.Lime);
}
if(m==3)
.....

What I would like to do . To create public array with ten standard colors:
Colors [0] = Brushes.Red
Colors [1] = Brushes.Blue
...

And loop will be changed this way:

for(int m = 1; m<10 ; m++)
{
if(Test_A <= Test_B && Test_B > Test_C)
{
vrcholy[Test_B_ID,3] = m+1;

vrcholy_urovne[0,m*4] = vrcholy_urovne[0,m*4+2];
vrcholy_urovne[0,m*4+1] = vrcholy_urovne[0,m*4+3];
vrcholy_urovne[0,m*4+2] = vrcholy[Test_B_ID,1];
vrcholy_urovne[0,m*4+3] = Test_B;

Draw.Line(this,"lineM2" + vrchol_B_ID, false, CurrentBar - Convert.ToInt32(vrcholy_urovne[0,8]),vrcholy_urovne[0,9], CurrentBar - Convert.ToInt32(vrcholy_urovne[0,10]), vrcholy_urovne[0,11], Colors [m], DashStyleHelper.Dot, 2);

Problem is, that I did not find any post or documentation if is it possible to store colors in array, what type of array it should it be,... And if I try to use array Colors in object Draw.Line, I receive error... (Argument 8: cannot convert from "string" to "System.Windows,Media.Brush" ).

Thanks for your advise and help.

Hello TOM,

This would be general C# and not specific to NinjaScript.

A array of System.Windows.Media.Brush would appear as:

private System.Windows.Media.Brush[] PeakColors = {
Brushes.Red,
Brushes.Blue
};

And accessed as an array:

Print(PeakColors[1].ToString());

The error you have is stating you are supplying a string. Your code does not show how Colors is declared, but I would guess this not a Brush[] array but is probably a string[] array.
