Add ability to specify opacity during creation of drawn objects from script

[cutzpr]

Currently you can not set the opacity for drawn objects when you create it from a script. But once it is created you can click on the properties of the object and change the opacity.

Hi cutzpr, thanks for your post.

You can create a custom Brush object when creating a draw object e.g.

Draw.Triangle(this, "TRI", Time[5], Low[5], Time[3], High[3] + TickSize*10, Time[0], Low[0], new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(155, 0, 0, 255)));

You could also do custom rendering in the OnRender method. In OnRender you use SharpDX for high performance and very customizable renders. We have a guide on using SharpDX here:

There is also an example indicator in the platform called "SampleCustomRender" for a functional reference.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.
