Draw with Unique Tag names causes error

[Hyper]

Hi,

[EDIT] I think I see what the problem was; my tags were not in fact unique for everything !!!
Sorry, but this can be ignored for now !!!

In a NinjaScript Editor developed Indicator...

I'm confused about Tag names for Draw.Dot and Draw.Text . Despite my using absolutely unique names for the tags,
I'm getting these exceptions thrown to the Log file. No tag is ever the same for any Draw... call. All done inside
OnBarUpdate...

Is there a restriction on the total number of Tags? or the length of the Tag string? These tags shown are generated by
simple concatenation of SRisk with this.CurrentBar, and I've also tried just incrementing counters; and the same
situation arises.

Only one instance of the indicator is running, OnBarUpdate is set to run only on bar Close... My understanding was
that we simply had to ensure the "myTag" was a unique string; but there must be something more to it ??

I am not using the overloads involving isGlobal, although at one point I suspected I might have to do that...

THE LANGUAGE OF THE ERROR MESSAGE TALKS ABOUT "TYPE" of drawing tool; and I confess to not
understanding what that means.

Hello Hyper,

Thank you for your note.

Are you using "SRisk" + CurrentBar for both Draw.Dot and Draw.Text? The tag can't be the same between those two different types.

I suspect if you make sure you're using "SRiskDot" + CurrentBar for Draw.Dot tags and "SRiskText" + CurrentBar for the text you won't get those prints. Are you ensuring the tags are also unique between types of drawing objects?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. That's what I discovered; and so sorry about the false alarm; but
that is more or less the error I made !!! It's all working now that I fixed the tag situation !!!
THANK YOU.
