Which plot types are available?

I've revised:

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?addplot.htm

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?stroke_class.htm

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?brushes.htm

I see that we can add

AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Blue), plotStyle, name)

however, i am interested:
1) what type of plots are available in NT? only STROKE type, or other types too?
2) how this will output, if we define stoke type and plotstyle together, like:

AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Blue, dashStyleHelper, width), plotStyle, name)

will dashStyleHelper override PlotStyle or?

3) btw, this is mistake i think - https://i.imgur.com/njuaZyJ.png, because DashStyle type is not accepted in NT compiler: https://i.imgur.com/inJFlCT.png

Hello selnomeria,

Thanks for opening the thread.

Plots can be created from a brush or from a a combination of a Stroke and a PlotStyle to further describe the Plot. Some PlotStyles will prevent you from seeing the DashStyle of the Stroke, but the two should be thought of separately when a Plot is built.

As there can be several different combinations, I suggest to create a sample script that adds plots in State.Configure, and then to modify the plot and reload the NinjaScript on a chart to see the differences that the DashStyle and PlotStyle make.

I will make a note out to have the help guide amended so the parameter is noted as an enum instead of a DashStyle.

If there is anything else I can do to help out, please let me know.
