NT7 to NT8

[MarthaClines]

Hello,

I am trying to convert a NT7 indicator that overrides PLOTS. I am attempting to override OnRender to accomplish this. The Plots override is written like this:

public override void Plot(Graphics graphics, Rectangle bounds, double min, double max)

Where do I get the values for bounds, min, and max in the OnRender Event in NT8? Do I obtain the charting space (panel 1) x and y (max width and height) from bounds or min and max? I cant find documentation on this. There isn't an NT8 version of these elements in the ninjatrader code breaking documentation, at least none that I could find.

I am trying to use the internal PIVOTS indicator as a model to convert this, but I cant seem to find a direct conversion for bounds, min, and max

Thanks,

Helllo MarthaClines,

As a heads up, overriding the Plot method was never documented for NinjaTrader 7.

For NinjaTrader 8, the chartPanel has the Y, Height, X, and Width of the panel

What method in SharpDX is asking for the bounds?

So, is it mapped as follows:

FROM: Plot(Graphics

graphics

, Rectangle

bounds

, double

min

, double

max

)

TO:

protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)

NT7 Plots min = NT8 ChartPanel.MinValue
NT7 Plots max = NT8 ChartPanel.MaxValue
NT7 Plots bounds.Height = NT8 ChartPanel.H
or
NT7 Plots bounds.Height

= NT8 ChartPanel.Height
or
NT7 Plots

bounds.Height

= NT8 ChartPanel.ActualHeight
