Get color of background on a specific bar

[facuevasm]

Hello guys,

I have an indicator that changes the background color on a specific bar in specific conditions. Which code could help me to get the color code of that specific background color when the indicator changes it? I'm testing with BackBrushes[0] but no luck so far.

Thank you.

Hello facuevasm,

If the indicator is coloring bars and you are trying to access those colors from outside of the indicator there is not a way to do that. BarBrushes is only available to the script that sets it. The indicator would need to instead expose a signal in the form of a Plot.

I the indicator in question something which you have the code for or is this a third party item? If you have the code for it you can add a plot and then expose a signal by plotting in the areas of the code which currently are setting the BackBrush.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello facuevasm,

The background color is not something which a script can read. If your indicator sets a background color another indicator cannot read that. The indicator which sets the background needs to expose the data as a plot for it to be used as a signal.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
