    How to have AddLine() draw a dashed or dotted line in a custom indicator?

    Hi there!
    First day using NT8 and first head scratcher...
    I duplicated a stochastic indicator to customise it.
    I was able to add an extra line on the indicator by using as a template the existing 20% and 80% lines already plotted in the original indicator.
    Doing so, my extra line is a solid line.
    I would like it to be dashed or dotted (or 2px thick).
    The AddLine() function uses a "Brushes.color" input and I was not able to find how to have it draw something else than a solid line.
    Is there a way to do that please?

    Many thanks in advance to whom will help.
    Cheers!

    Hello The_Butcher,

    Thanks for your note.

    You could use the AddLine() method using a Stroke to create a dashed or dotted line.

    Here is an example of Stroke added to AddLine(): AddLine(new Stroke (Brushes.Aqua, DashStyleHelper.Dash, 2), 30, "myLine");

    See the help guide documentation below for more information.

    AddLine(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/addline.htm
    Stroke: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...roke_class.htm

    Let us know if we may assist further.
