Custom Name for Plots?

[benjamin$]

Hello! I appreciate the incredible feedback in this forum.

I created an indicator that allows a user to create eight separate horizontal lines based on time frame and candle position. Currently those lines are labelled Line 1, Line 2, etc... is there a way to accept user entered labels for the line that then display in the Data Box?

I understand how to accept user input in the form of text but am wondering how I would apply it to specific plots?

Thank you

Hello benjamin$,

Are you using Draw.HorizontalLine()?

The DataBox is only going to show plots from using AddPlot(), so use this instead and set the Values[plot index][barAgo index] to where you want the line to appear.

You can use the text from the public string input (using the NinjaScriptProperty attribute) to set as the Plots[plot index].Name in State.DataLoaded.
