SharpDXHelper/Wrapper sertical lines spacing

[PaulMohn]

I've modified Jim's SharpDXHelper/Wrapper from the user app share page.

My version is attached below as txt file. Only the indicator not the full addon as I can't export it because of some log tab errors on DXHelper and DXMediaBrush.

I want to specify the space vertically for the horizontal lines, for example with 5 ticks between each horizontal line.

Here is the current output, with 1 tick interline spacing.



The relevant snippet from lines 175-86

DXH.DrawLine(RenderTarget,
                                    "LineBrush",
                                    ChartPanel.X,
                                    chartScale.GetYByValue(i),
                                    ChartPanel.W,
                                    chartScale.GetYByValue(i),
                                    LineBrushWidth,
                                    //(DashStyleHelper)(j%4));
                                    //(DashStyleHelper)(j%1));
                                    //(DashStyleHelper)(1.4f));
                                    //DashStyleHelper.Solid);
                                    (DashStyleHelper.Solid));​

I tested the commented out commands in the snippet above to get familiar.
I did not find the sought out info for the task at hand.

How can the spacing between horizontal lines be controlled in this context?
For example setting it to be 5 ticks according to the instrument the indicator is loaded on.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your inquiry.

What log tab errors are you getting when trying to export? Please provide a screenshot of the full error messages.


SharpDX.Direct2D1.RenderTarget.DrawLine() only draws a line between the specified points. It takes no arguments to specify spacing between two different DrawLine() objects.

You will need to add custom logic to your script that will only draw a line 5 ticks after the previous line has been drawn.

In the loop from your sample sript, you are using i+= TickSize which is one tick. You can use (5 * TickSize) which is 5 ticks.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you Gaby the solution worked.

I added a User Input variable for convenience.

It does export as addon, but not just the indicator (might have to do with addon requirements).
Would you be able to test it on your end before I post it on the user apps share page?
Here it is attached.

It works on my end.
