Draw vertical line across all panels of chart

[gbrad]

Hi,

I'm trying to draw a vertical line on a bar within an indicator (given a certain condition) that will go across all panels (from the top to the bottom of the entire chart panel). It looks like that this has to be done from within OnRender. If possible, can you please provide example code for how this can be done?

Thank you,
gbrad

Hello gbrad, thanks for your post.

We did figure out how to do this here on this example, but doing this is 100% unsupported since the render area is meant to be clipped to the chart panel by default:

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Hi ChrisL,

I already looked at this drawing tool before I sent the post. This is exactly what I want to do, but rather than drawing a vertical line using a drawing tool by clicking on the chart, I want to know how this is done within an indicator. How can I modify this piece of code so that it will draw a line given a certain condition within an indicator?

Thanks very much for your help.

Hello, thanks for your reply.

This code is not supported so I will not be able to provide any further insight into it, regrettably.

Kind regards.

Okay, I understand. But let me ask this: how do you reference the x and y coordinates of a given bar on the chart?

Hello, thanks for your reply.

You can use the following methods to get x,y coordinates on a chart based on the bar, time, and price data:
