TickSize in new ChartStyle

[gmacjapan]

Hi
I am creating a new ChartStyle that uses TickSize in one of the caclculations but I am getting the "TickSize doesn't exist in current context" error. I looked over the API but can't find a way to pull the TickSize reference into the ninjascript. The documentation states that is under "Common" and should be available for what I am trying to do. What is the explicit "using" statement to access TickSize? Note that the spelling is correct.

TIA,
/george

Hello gmacjapan,

Thank you for your post.

You'll need to obtain the TickSize through ChartBars in OnRender().

For example,

public override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale, ChartBars chartBars)
{
Instrument myInstrument = Instrument.GetInstrument(chartBars.Properties.Instrument);
Print(myInstrument.MasterInstrument.TickSize.ToString());
}

Hi Gaby V. and thank you for your reply!
Is it possible to get the TickSize value in the OnStateChange
if (State == State.DataLoaded){} ? I would prefer to avoid obtaining in the OnRender block.
I noticed that when creating an indicator that the TickSize is available in the State.DataLoaded, but not when creating a ChartType.
I imagine there must be some design reason for this, but in practice it is inconvenient. Feature request possible?
TIA,
