SharpDX.Direct2D1 Render Vertical Line in Indicator Window and price panel

[Entwaze]

Hello,
I am trying to render a vertical line between the indicator and price panel in one fluid motion > or at least render a seperate line on both panels to create the illusion that they connect.
Im not using DrawOnPricePanel for resources sack and i dont see any specific documentation on changing the chartControl and chartScale to the price panel,
Can draw a line on indicator panel fine, but dont see any way to switch to price in OnRender and render it on the price panel with SHARP,
Can this be done or bang-head-against wall?

OnRender can only render within the chart panel the indicator or strategy is running in. Instead of drawing a vertical line, you could try BackBrushAll = Brushes.CornflowerBlue; or something like that and this will color the background behind that bar on every panel. Or, you could run an indicator in each panel so they can talk to one another and each can render the line in its own panel. Or, if there is only ONE subpanel below price, you could run the indicator in the subpanel and draw the line twice (once with the parameter for DrawOnPricePanel = true and once with the parameter for DrawOnPricePanel = false) to cover the two panels. Note that the inbuilt drawing tools can draw on the price panel even if the indicator is running in a subpanel, while if you render it yourself, you cannot.

Hello Entwaze,

Thank you for your post.

The render area is intended to be limited to the chart panel by default. That said, there is a script that is publicly available on our NinjaTrader Ecosystem website that does draw a vertical line that is visible across all panels:

• https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...-drawing-tool/

The code used in this drawing tool is not supported. I am supplying it as an example to demonstrate that what you desire to do is possible, though not within the bounds of documented and supported NinjaScript.


Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Oh this is cool i will have to incorporate this going forward., as far as the problem with the line and indicator, i always ran into this problem on other platforms like trading view and MQL5 and my best solution is to just render the indicator and price up in the same window and scrap the division

Yes, you could do that as well.
