Simple way for Plots[0].DashStyle = DashStyle.Dot; in NT8

[fx.practic]

Hello.

In NT7, in OnStartUp method I can do:

Plots[0].DashStyle = DashStyle.Dot;

How can I do the same in NT8 ?

Hello fx.practic,

Thank you for writing in.

Plots does not contain a property of DashStyle in NinjaTrader 7.

Are you referring to PlotStyle?

The property is also called PlotStyle in NinjaTrader 8.

Plots[0].PlotStyle = PlotStyle.Dot;

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

Excuse me. I mean

Plots[0].Pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.DashDot;

Hello fx.practic,

Thank you for the clarification.

You'll want to use DashStyleHelper.

Plots[0].DashStyleHelper = DashStyleHelper.DashDot;

[fx.practic]

Plots[05].Pen.DashStyleHelper = DashStyleHelper.Dot;

cause error:

'System.Windows.Media.Pen' does not contain a definition for 'DashStyleHelper' and no extension method 'DashStyleHelper' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Windows.Media.Pen' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

You have used

.Pen

which is not the same as DashStyleHelper. Please instead use:

Plots[5].DashStyleHelper = DashStyleHelper.Dot;

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Oh sure! Excuse me.

Yes. This works. Thank You.
