    Coding A Dashed Horizontal Line

    Hi there,

    I've been struggling to add specifications to a horizontal line (Mid-Line) in my custom indicator.

    I'd like to add a 'Dash' dashstyle.

    But so far it seems that horizontal lines are limited.

    Here is the code for my horizontal line:

    AddLine(Brushes.White, 50, "Mid-Line");
    Lines[1].Width = 2F;

    Would it be better to use a Draw.HorizontalLine code for integrating dashstyles?

    I've been able to integrate dashstyles into my plots before, but struggling to integrate it with horizontal lines.

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Hello RoswellTrader,

    Thank you for your post.

    A Stroke object would allow you to use the Dash DashStyle in a call of AddLine(). I also see you are changing the width of the line; the width can be defined in the Stroke as well. You could do this with the following syntax:
    AddLine(Stroke stroke, double value, string name)

    Here is more information about the stroke class:


    The following Stroke syntax would let you select the brush, DashStyle, and width:
    Stroke(Brush brush, DashStyle dashStyleHelper, float width)

    Using your snippets, the call of AddLine() could look like the following:
    Code:
    AddLine(new Stroke(Brushes.White, DashStyleHelper.Dash, 4), 50, "Mid-Line");
    Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.
