Drawing rectangles

[morrnel]

Hello,
I wish to draw a rectangle in the Stochastic panel between 40 and 60.
Using this command:

Draw.Rectangle(this, "oo"+CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 1, 60.0, 0, 40.0, Brushes.Blue, Brushes.Blue, 50);

It gets confused and displays a scale of 0 to 0.24. I have tried both true and false

What am I doing wrong?

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
double min0 = min[0];
nom[0] = Close[0] - min0;
den[0] = max[0] - min0;

if (den[0].ApproxCompare(0) == 0)
fastK[0] = CurrentBar == 0 ? 50 : fastK[1];
else
fastK[0] = Math.Min(100, Math.Max(0, 100 * nom[0] / den[0]));

// Slow %K == Fast %D
K[0] = smaFastK[0];
D[0] = smaK[0];
Draw.Rectangle(this, "oo"+CurrentBar.ToString(), true, 1, 60.0, 0, 40.0, Brushes.Blue, Brushes.Blue, 50);
}

Hello morrnel,

Thanks for your post.

Please make sure that in State.SetDefaults you have (or add if not) DrawOnPricePanel = false; this is what i see when doing that:



However, I would strongly advise against drawing 1 bar rectangles as this will lead you to a lot of excessive draw objects in a hurry which will consume your PC resources. If all you want is a shaded region from 40 to 60 I would use Draw.RegionHighLightY() and issue that once when CurrentBar == 0, for example:

if (CurrentBar == 0)
{
Draw.RegionHighlightY(this, "Test", true, 40, 60, Brushes.Blue, Brushes.Blue, 50);
}

Here is what that looks like and uses minimal resources:

The two changes cause the blue bar to display across the bottom of the candle pane,

Hello mornel,

It sounds like you did not set DrawOnPricePanel = false; in State.SetDefaults.

Can you confirm this has been set?

Note: After making changes and recompiling you must remove the indicator from the chart and then re-apply.

It works now just when I was going to show you I did it all as suggested. Perhaps the simulation was practicing a full moon or something.
