[MJGutierrez]

Hi, there is a way to get the color of the drawing objects in the chart, for example following this code i get the anchors of the rectangle but i need get the color too

if (draw is DrawingTools.Line)
{

DrawingTools.Line LineTemp = draw as DrawingTools.Line;
LineTag = draw.Tag;


if (draw.GetType().Name == "ArrowLine")
{
LineStartPrice = LineTemp.StartAnchor.Price;
LineEndPrice = LineTemp.EndAnchor.Price;
LineStartTime = LineTemp.StartAnchor.Time;
LineEndTime = LineTemp.EndAnchor.Time;
}

if (draw.GetType().Name == "Line")
{
LineStartPrice = LineTemp.StartAnchor.Price;
LineEndPrice = LineTemp.EndAnchor.Price;
LineStartTime = LineTemp.StartAnchor.Time;
LineEndTime = LineTemp.EndAnchor.Time;
}
}

Hello MJGutierrez,

Thank you for your post.

Both ArrowLine and Line objects have a Stroke which contains the stroke object with the brush used to draw the object. For example, the following snippet would print the color used for myLine:

private NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.Line myLine;
​
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (State == State.Historical)
return;
myLine = Draw.Line(this, "tag", 15, Close[15], 0, Close[0], Brushes.Red);
Print("myLine brush:" + myLine.Stroke.Brush);
}
