Feature Enhancement: Price Markers via Transparent PlotStyle

Many thanks, Patrick!

[HandsFreeTrader]

did anyone find a way to add or draw a custom price marker to the price axis without adding a collection of plots to modify?

Another vote for having the ability to set price markers on the y-axis without using plots.
These independent markers should also support the FormatPriceMarker method, so you can also display custom text on these markers.

Please add my vote. I thought it would be as simple as setting 0 width for the line.

Hello,

this is still something that is quite nagging. However, if anybody Needs another work around. It is not 100% smooth, as when Scrolling back, the markers are not displayed immediately, but it works quite nice anyway, hiding the plot by Setting it transparent. It will only set the last visible bar to the original plot Colors.

protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
  {


   if (ChartBars.ToIndex != lastToIndex)
   {
    for (int i = ChartBars.FromIndex; i < ChartBars.ToIndex; i++)
    {
     try
     {
      PlotBrushes[0].Set(i, Brushes.Transparent);
      PlotBrushes[1].Set(i, Brushes.Transparent);
      PlotBrushes[2].Set(i, Brushes.Transparent);
      PlotBrushes[3].Set(i, Brushes.Transparent);
      PlotBrushes[4].Set(i, Brushes.Transparent);
     }
     catch (Exception err1)
     {
      Print(err1);
     }
    }
    try
    {
     PlotBrushes[0].Set(ChartBars.ToIndex, ChartBars.ToIndex == currentBar ? Plots[0].Brush : Brushes.Gray);
     PlotBrushes[1].Set(ChartBars.ToIndex, ChartBars.ToIndex == currentBar ? Plots[1].Brush : Brushes.Gray);
     PlotBrushes[2].Set(ChartBars.ToIndex, ChartBars.ToIndex == currentBar ? Plots[2].Brush : Brushes.Gray);
     PlotBrushes[3].Set(ChartBars.ToIndex, ChartBars.ToIndex == currentBar ? Plots[3].Brush : Brushes.Gray);
     PlotBrushes[4].Set(ChartBars.ToIndex, ChartBars.ToIndex == currentBar ? Plots[4].Brush : Brushes.Gray);
    }
    catch (Exception err1)
    {
     Print(err1);
    }

   }
