Rendering a Moving Average style line using SharpDX

[kevinenergy]

I have a requirement to render an indicator Line similar to a moving average that curves up and down. I want to vary the thickness, colour and stroke-style of the line according to various conditions. So this requires custom rendering.

What is the best way to approach this? Is a "PathGeometry" the thing to use, or something else?

Hello kevinenergy,

Thanks for your post.

That is correct. PathGeometry and RenderTarget.DrawGeometry would need to be used to accomplish custom rendering of that line on the chart.

You could view the Ichimoku Cloud indicator from the NinjaTrader Ecosystem User App Share for an example of using PathGeometry and RenderTarget.DrawGeometry.
