Draw.HorizontalLine() question

[flybuzz]

Hi I am new to programming, I was looking at the Draw.HorizontalLine() method. I wanted to create the object with specified width/brush as well as setting it a global drawing object. I don't see it fits one of the available syntax and if I try to set like width or global like object.isGlobal = True separately after the ojbect is created, ninjatrader compiler does not like that. What do I do?

Hello flybuzz,

Unfortunately, the isGlobal has to be set at the time of calling the draw method.
But you can change the width and brush after that.

HorizontalLine myHLine = Draw.HorizontalLine(this, "myObject", Close[0], true, string.Empty);
myHLine.Stroke.Brush = Brushes.Red;
myHLine.Stroke.Width = 5;

Hello kenz987,

The default using statements will have the 'NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools' statement by default.

Have you created the script using the NinjaScript Editor?

Have you modified the default using statements?

Hello kenz987,

The properties you are trying to print are not the properties of a horizontal line.

You can use the myHLine.StartAnchor.Price and myHLine.Stroke.Width.

So compiler "help" prompts are totally useless then. Thanks for the link, and your time.
