Help with lower indicator window drawing tools

[AlgoDreamer]

I am trying to find which drawing tools are compatible with the lower indicator window where the RSI indicator would be plotted. I am going through the documentation http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...brushesall.htm
Almost none of these drawing tools seem to work on the lower indicator window.

Where can I find what drawing tools are available for the lower indicator window without having to try them all individually?
In the photo taken from tradingview I included I can create background channel fills between Y axis ranges how can this be done in ninjascript?

Thanks

Hello AlgoDreamer,

Thank you for your post.

Are you referring to drawing tool methods like Draw.Dot(), or BackBrushes (which is what you have linked to)?

Please note that Drawing objects (e.g. Draw.Dot()) can only be drawn into the panel owned by the script (primary series), or the price panel.

Here is a sample script which draws a dot using Draw.Dot() on the panel owned by the script.

If you have further questions, please let me know.

Draw.Dot() can work on the chart or the lower indicator window but a lot of the drawing tools like

HorizontalLine myLine = Draw.HorizontalLine(this, "tag1", 5321, Brushes.Green);
// Set a new Stroke for the object
myLine.Stroke = new Stroke(Brushes.Green, DashStyleHelper.Dash, 5);

Only work on the chart window and not on the lower indicator window. Is there anywhere in the documentation that specifies which drawing tools work in the lower indicator window so I don't have to go through and try each one to see if they work in the lower indicator window? But what I am actually trying to find is a way to fill the background with a color between ranges on the Y axis in the lower indicator window. In the photo I attached you can see the red, blue, and green backgournd fills.

I see that this does work in the lower indicator window

// Sets the color of the background on the current bar as blue
BackBrushes[0] = Brushes.Blue;
// Sets the color of the background on the previous bar as orange
BackBrushes[1] = Brushes.Orange;

But I cannot set the range on either the x or y axis in the lower indicator window to which I want the fill to appear. Is there a way to do this in ninjascirpt?

Hello AlgoDreamer,

Thank you for your response.

Draw.Line also works to draw on the panel the indicator is applied to - this applies to all Drawing objects (except Draw.TextFixed, which is noted in its Help Guide page). Please see the attached sample script which demonstrates drawing both a line and a dot in the indicator panel.

If your drawing object is not appearing as expected, you will likely need to debug the script to figure out the cause.

BackBrushesAll (as opposed to just BackBrushes) will color the background on all chart panels.

To draw between two regions on the chart, you can use Draw.Region().

This sample code (at the link below) also demonstrates drawing a region in the indicator panel:

You are right Draw.HorizontalLine and Draw.RegionHighlightY do work in the lower indicator window this is exactly what I was looking for thank you so much!
