Graphics graphics, ...

Please, what is the NT8 correct statement for the following;

private void DrawArrow(int arrowSize, Graphics graphics, int x, int y, SolidColorBrush brush, bool up)

I receive Error Message: The type or namespace name 'Graphics' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference) during a conversion from NT7 to NT8.

Hi Lolu,

I had the same issue with "Graphics" when converting NT7 add-ons to NT8. I think "Graphics" may not be not supported in NT8. You can either use the simple Draw.ArrowUp/Down or use OnRender SharpDX coding for specific arrows.

Hello Lolu,

Thanks for your post.

We would suggest referencing NinjTrader 7 NinjaScript items that do not work in NinjaTrader 8 in the Code Breaking Changes page of the Help Guide. Under "Filter results" you can look for specific NinjaScript items that have changed in NinjaTrader 8.

Code Breaking Changes - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ng_changes.htm

Drawing methods NinjaTrader 8 - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/drawing.htm

Custom plotting that was done with GDI+ graphics in the Plot() override is now done with SharpDX in OnRender. To get more acquainted with SharpDX rendering, please see the Help Guide article below, and please see the SampleCustomRender indicator that comes with NinjaTrader.

We look forward to assisting.

Thanks. Right on. Keeping it simple for 43 years of trading is my best strategy.

Cheers!
