PlotStyle Applied to a drawn Line

[hbustami]

Greetings,

For a typical plot, we can normally do something like this to set a style:

Plots[0].PlotStyle = PlotStyle.HLine;

and we have a property to set a dash style as well:

Plots[0].DashStyleHelper = DashStyleHelper.Dash;

The same could be said if we try to apply the "DashStyleHelper" to a "Line"

var aaa = Draw.Line(this, _lineTag + "L1", false, BarsArray[0].GetTime(CurrentBar), L1[0],
BarsArray[0].GetTime(CurrentBar).AddHours(8), L1[0], Plots[0].Brush, Plots[0].DashStyleHelper, 1);

aaa.Stroke.DashStyleHelper = DashStyleHelper.Dash;

I am aware that a custom "Stroke" could be created but I was hoping I could use that PlotStyle property you can find on plots. Is there a way to apply such a property to a "Line"?

Hello hbustami,

The PlotStyle is a class type. This will not be accepted by a drawing object which does not have property of PlotStyle.

If you are trying to convert a PlotStyle to a DashStyleHelper you would need to use a keyvaluepair array or something similar and map specific plotstyles to specific dashstylehelpers.
