Change Plot Style in OnBarUpdate?

[AssIsChubby]

I'm guessing that it is not possible to change the plot syle outside of State.SetDefaults?
I know I can change the plot brushes with PlotBrushes[X][X] = Brushes.XXXX;
It would be awesome if I could do the same with the plot style.

Hello AssIsChubby,

Thank you for your post.

It's possible to change the Plot Style in OnBarUpdate:

public class OBUPlotStyleChangeTest : Indicator
{
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here.";
Name = "OBUPlotStyleChangeTest";
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
IsOverlay = true;
DisplayInDataBox = true;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
DrawHorizontalGridLines = true;
DrawVerticalGridLines = true;
PaintPriceMarkers = true;
ScaleJustification = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right;
//Disable this property if your indicator requires custom values that cumulate with each new market data event.
//See Help Guide for additional information.
IsSuspendedWhileInactive = true;
AddPlot(Brushes.Orange, "TestPlot");
}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
Plots[0].PlotStyle = PlotStyle.Dot;

Value[0] = Close[0];
}

#region Properties

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore]
public Series<double> TestPlot
{
get { return Values[0]; }
}
#endregion

}

That example will change the plot style to Dot instead of a line.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
