Using "Labeled Lines Drawing Tool" by NinjaTraderJimm in ninjascript

[mjairg]

Hi i found this post https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/...bel-lines-rays, and this answer

"I have a DrawingTool that expands the built in Lines DrawingTool to add a label. If you want to use them with NinjaScript, you can use DrawLL.LabeledRay() in place of Draw.Ray()"

There is some sample about use DrawLL?

If i need use labeled vertical line the code, maybe i need use something like this? DrawLL.VerticalLabeledLine(this, "tag1", 0, Brushes.Black);

How can i call DrawLL, i have this error:

Hello mjairg,

Are you certain you have imported the drawing tool script and you are able to draw this on a chart?

Attached is a test script that calls DrawLL.LabeledVerticalLine().

Thanks a lot, is working now, i change the LabeledLines.cs for your file, now i can continue my script, again thanks a lot

I understand that I can use one of the following methods to draw a vertical labeled line


DrawLL.VerticalLine(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, DateTime time, Brush brush)
DrawLL.VerticalLine(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, DateTime time, Brush brush, DashStyleHelper dashStyle, int width, bool drawOnPricePanel)
DrawLL.VerticalLine(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, int barsAgo, Brush brush)
DrawLL.VerticalLine(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, int barsAgo, Brush brush, DashStyleHelper dashStyle, int width, bool drawOnPricePanel)
DrawLL.VerticalLine(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, int barsAgo, bool isGlobal, string templateName)
DrawLL.VerticalLine(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, DateTime time, bool isGlobal, string templateName)

in the properties window we can see its parameters and values, my question is how can i write the text value (marked in red) using one of the methods

Hello, for now I have managed to export the data that interests me from the labeled vertical line to a .csv file, the date loads fine, I still can't find a way to load the text attached to the line file, any recommendations?

Hello mjairg,

LabeledVerticalLine myVLine = DrawLL.LabeledVerticalLine(this, "labelVLine" + CurrentBar, 0, Brushes.Red);
myVLine.DisplayText = "SAMPLE TEXT";

Is working, thanks a lot Chelsea.

Is there a way to modify the tool, so once a line is drawn i can make it global. with horizontal lines i am getting this when i make it global after drawing it. I get this when i try and apply a labeled object to all charts manually.

Hello JPMARTINUS,

You would need to use the overload that has IsGlobal:

var myLine = DrawLL.LabeledHorizontalLine(this, "myLine" , Close[0], true, null);
myLine.AppendPriceTime = false;

Keep in mind this script was not made to support AppendPriceTime, to support that option you would have to edit the drawing tool and add logic to support that
