draw."chart object" size change in code ?

[stafe]

feature 17863 introduces the ability to change a drawn chart object, once the object is drawn, from medium which seems to be the default to larger or smaller sizes...
my specific code is:
Draw.ArrowDown (this, @"PosTSI+DownBar" + CurrentBar, false, 1, High[1] + (TickSize * offset), Brushes.Magenta, true );

i can't find in the current NinjaScript guide any hint that i can change the default draw size to Large within the code, nor do i see any additional inputs for any of the 6 possible forms of the Draw.ArrowDown command.

is this possible ?

Hello stafe,

Thank you for your post.

At this time, there is no documented way to change the default draw size of a drawing object through NinjaScript.

If you would like, I can submit a feature request for this on your behalf.

[stafe]

that would be great, thanks

I will follow up with the tracking number once as soon as it's been created.

This is what the feature request was forever but was ignored in favor of this halfhearted attempt to appease users who always wanted the ninjascript version! This new feature is absolutely useless.

Hello,

While I haven't had any luck finding an undocumented way to directly access drawing size in NinjaScript, I wanted to update any users who may be reading this thread for an answer that a workaround at this time is to save a template for the drawing object with your desired size, then use the overload that allows you to specify a template for that object. Then it will be drawn with the size specified in your saved template.

Then the draw objects may be the wrong size for some other indicator. This should be fixed, should have been from the get go. It should work similar to the way you can specify the text font size in any indicator code, except on the fly with each Draw. call.

Hello eDanny,

I just wanted to follow up on this. Currently the built in drawing objects have not been modified to support more overloads with the chart marker size. As such you would have to reference the property directly using an instance. Here is an example:

ArrowDown arrow = Draw.ArrowDown(this, "test", true, 0, Close[0], Brushes.Red);
arrow.Size = ChartMarkerSize.Medium;

Thanks Jesse, I didn't know this was possible before more overloads are added. I would be nice if eventually the size could be more granular, similar to font objects.
