Best practices to update a Draw object

[arbeydario]

Hi,

what is the best practice to update a draw object, for example, i have a Draw.Text and i want to change the display text, i tryed just changing the value with myDrawText.DisplayText = "changed text"; but it does not work, but if i recreate the object with myDrawText = Draw.Text(this, "myDrawText", "changed text, barsAgoText, Close[0], true, ""); it works, but, this is the best practice to do that?

Same happen with a Draw.Line, i need to change the Y value to update every price change, only works if i Draw a new Line with Draw.Line but again it is the best practice?

And what is the best practice to hide an object for example the Line or the Text? i tryed changing the stroke to transparent but only works defining the new Draw.Line or Draw.Text.

Thank you for your help!!

Try calling ForceRefresh after updating the draw object(s).

Hello arbeydario,

Generally the supported approach is the call the draw method again using the same tag name and this will update the existing drawing object.
