Indicator plot width to match Chart Bar width?

[woodyfox]

Try this, not tested:

if(Plots[0].PlotStyle == PlotStyle.Bar)
Plots[0].Width = (float) (chartControl.GetBarPaintWidth(ChartBars));

This will only change the plot you want. Do not cycle through all plots with the foreach loop.

eDanny,

Somehow I missed your post? Your code snippet worked like a charm! Using it I can pick and choose which plots to include.
Thanks, Woody.

protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
{
base.OnRender(chartControl, chartScale);

if(Plots[4].PlotStyle == PlotStyle.Bar)
{
Plots[4].Width = (float) (chartControl.GetBarPaintWidth(ChartBars));
}
if(Plots[5].PlotStyle == PlotStyle.Bar)
{

Plots[5].Width = (float) (chartControl.GetBarPaintWidth(ChartBars));
}
}

Hello Woody,

With your new code you are now comparing each plot individually.

The short hand would work with your loop. (I've tested my end)

foreach (Plot plot in Plots)
{
if (plot.PlotStyle == PlotStyle.Bar)
{
// execute code
}
}

Chelsea,
Yes! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for being patient with me. Slowly Learning!
Thanks, Woody.

This is another way, works when zomming in/out chart too:

        protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
        {
            Plots[0].Width = (float) (chartControl.GetBarPaintWidth(ChartBars));
        }

Hello TazoTadoa,

You may use the AutoWidth property of the plot and you will not have to use OnRender().

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
    if (State == State.SetDefaults)
    {
        Name                                        = "AutoWidthTest";

        AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Lime), PlotStyle.Bar, "MyPlot");
        Plots[0].AutoWidth = true;
    }
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    Values[0][0] = Close[0];
}
