Hide plots

[WHICKED]

I would like to hide the plots from being shown on a chart through code - is there a configure option for that ?

Hello WHICKED,

To hide plots you can set their color to Transparent, the platform checks for that brush specifically and will hide the plots from the UI when that is used. An alternative would be to add the OnRender override to the indicator and then do not call base.OnRender, by not calling base.OnRender the plots are not rendered.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Doing the transparent does not stop the plots from showing on the chart - this is in a separate data window (below the price chart).

Is there another option ?

Hello WHICKED,

The default behavior for transparent plots is to be hidden, there is a note about that in the following page. If that is not working please try changing ShowTransparentPlotsInDataBox to false and then re apply the script.

The other option would be the other item it had noted:

You still get the price marker in that use case so you owuld have to still use a transparent plot or turn off the indicators price markers.

the plot is still shown down below - all the plots are transparent and I added the OnRender method as well but it still shows up. There are no price markers etc.

AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Transparent, 1)

IsOverlay = true;
DisplayInDataBox = false;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
DrawHorizontalGridLines = false;
DrawVerticalGridLines = false;
PaintPriceMarkers = false;
ShowTransparentPlotsInDataBox = false;

protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
{
}

Hello WHICKED,

What you have pointed to in the image is the indicators label. If you want to hide that you need to either delete the text in the Label when applying the indicator or override the displayname https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ub=displayname
