is it possible to draw curved lines via sharpDX?

Is it possible to draw a curved line using sharpDX?

I have no clue how to use System.Windows.Media.Geometry.Parse, so if there also are other ways of going about doing this, I'm all ears.

for learning and testing purposes, I was thinking about trying to recreate a moving average using sharpDX. Is this even possible to do? Any idea on how this would compare to a "regular" moving average indicator in terms of resource usage? Are there any examples that I could check out to help me get me started and pointing in the right direction?


thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

For Curved lines, you would likely need to use Bezier curves. This would be a concept I could not provide an example for, unfortunately.

You can find examples of bezier curves and sharpdx / directx in various places online but they would not specifically relate to NinjaTrader as this is a drawing concept.

For examples of using path Geometry, you could see the Region Drawing object, this uses Path Geometry and is a good example of what may be required. Again I would not have a simple example, in this case, drawing geometry is a difficult subject as it is quite involved.

If you are simply trying to render a Plot, you may instead check the Pivots indicator and see how it renders the Plots it uses, this may be the better approach or to utilize the visible bars to render a path. For a curved line, again you would need to use a Path and Geometry but would also need to utilize Bezier curves which are considerably more difficult than just connecting lines.

please let me know if I may be of further asssitance.
