    Equivalent of BarColor

    Hi,
    I'm trying to recreate a paint bar type of indicator. I use to just set the BarColor property. What is the equivalent in NT8?

    Color object is no longer used, these properties have been renamed to match their new Brush type

    Code:
    BarBrush = Brushes.Blue;

      Thanks Matt,
      One more question, I use to set a plots opacity by defining the color using:

      Color.FromArgb(Math.Min(255, Math.Max(0, Convert.ToInt32(opacity * 0.01 * 255))), color)

      I tried setting the opacity by:

      Plots[0].Brush.Opacity = 0.5d;

      but it didn't like that. Could you point me in the right direction?

        The Plots brush is frozen when it is instantiated , which means it's read-only and cannot be modified at runtime.

        If you wish to change a plot's brush property, you need to first clone the desired plot brush, make the changes, and then make sure you call Freeze() on that new brush to prevent further access issues

        Code:
        	Brush myBrush = Plots[0].Brush.Clone();
        	myBrush.Opacity = 0.5f;
        	myBrush.Freeze();
        	Plots[0].Brush = myBrush;
        Attached is a complete example of how to change the opacity of entire plot series.
