Plot Line Width

[afshinmoshrefi]

How can I change the default width of a plot in NT8?

Hello afshinmoshrefi,

Thank you for your note.

You would use the following within State == State.SetDefaults.

Plots[0].Width = 4;

So for example,

AddPlot(Brushes.Goldenrod, NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptIndicatorNameSMA);
Plots[0].Width = 4;

I have also attached a copy of the SMA indicator which has its plot width modified.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

It would be a nice feature to be able to adjust plot width on individual bars as PlotBrushes does for color.

Hello afshinmoshrefi,

Thank you for your note.

This is not something that is currently possible however I will forward your suggestion to the development team and ask them if they can add this to a list of future considerations for the software.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

It would be indeed really nice! It's four years ago now and try and error shows that it hasn't been integrated.
Is there a workaround or something?

Greetings

So far the only workaround I've found that works is to generate several plots with the same properties as the plot with adjustable width, except that all duplicates are set to Brushes.Transparent, each with a different width, and then to give them a color on some events:

if (VolumePercent[1] > 1.8){
PlotBrushes[8][1] = VolumeColor;
}
else if ( VolumePercent[1] > 1.30 && VolumePercent[1] < 1.8){
PlotBrushes[7][1] = VolumeColor;
}
else if ( VolumePercent[1] > 1.10 && VolumePercent[1] < 1.30){
PlotBrushes[6][1] = VolumeColor;
}

Though it can't be real dynamic and complicated if there is more than one easy variable. I am looking forward to a better workaround / solution.

Edit: and it only works limited to some setups.

Hello seykool,

The most direct approach would be to custom render the bars in OnRender().

Below are links to a few chart styles in the User App Share that have custom logic to custom render the bars at different widths.

As well as a few indicators that render over the bars.

Dev team? Any update with this? Is this possible in NT8?
