Custom Dash?

[davydhnz]

Hi,

We all know about the three default options in Ninja, but what if I wanted to assign a custom dash that has more spaces inbetween or use a different character for the dash?
And what if I wanted to assign that custom dash as a 4th option which is selectable in the indicator settings?

Just wanting to know what the options are with that, thank you very much in advance!

Hello davydhnz,

Are you referring to the Dash style for a plot?
Unfortunately, these cannot be modified or added.

You can, however, custom render anything you would like in OnRender().

Hi Chelsea,

Yes, I mean with draw.line if there was a way.

I asked ChatGPT before you lol and it said to:

private enum DashStyleType { Solid = 0, Dash = 1, Dot = 2, Custom = 3 }
[NinjaScriptProperty] [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Dash Style", GroupName = "Appearance", Order = 0)]
public DashStyleType MyDashStyle { get; set; }
private DashStyle customDashStyle; // Declare the custom DashStyle as a class-level variable

Obviously that didn't work . It is good for some things, but clearly has certain limitations.

I guess I'll have to put it on my longterm wishlist for when I finally get to learning OnRender.

Thanks for your reply, regardless.
