Draw.Dot object - controlling the brush color and the size simultaneously

[GARZONJ]

I am drawing a Dot on the chart.
How can I control the Dot's color AND the Dot's size?

When I look at the various syntax for the Draw.Dot object, I don't see one where I can change the Brush color and a string template in the same statement.

Also, is the string template the way to change the Dot's size? If so, could you provide me with a quick sample.

Hello GARZONJ,

There is actually not a way to change the dots size, this is controlled based on the charts scaling. The dots color can be controlled using the overload which includes a brush, and as you noted there is not a specific overload which allows controlling the brush and template. The templates would contain a brush so that is used instead.

If you want to later change the color and also load a template, you would need to draw the object and then change its values:

Dot dot = Draw.Dot(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int barsAgo, double y, bool isGlobal, string templateName)
dot.AreaBrush = Brushes.Gold;
dot.OutlineBrush = Brushes.Blue;

I look forward to being of further assistance.
