plot thickness

[velocity]

if I have the following code, How do I make the bar thickness default to 5 instead of 1?

Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Blue), PlotStyle.Bar, "up"));


I put the following code in, but NT did not like that.

Plots[0].Pen.Width = 5;

Is this in the Initialize()? Which error do you get velocity?

[velocity]

it is in:
protectedoverridevoid Initialize()

when I compile it does it successfully, however, all the parameters display as <unknown><unknown>

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

velocity, could you please attach your code so I can take a look and try to reproduce?

[velocity]

///<summary>
/// This method is used to configure the indicator and is called once before any bar data is loaded.
///</summary>
protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.Transparent, PlotStyle.Line, "OscLine"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, PlotStyle.Bar, "OscBarUP"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Magenta, PlotStyle.Bar, "OscBarDn"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Blue, PlotStyle.Bar, "HPLineUp"));
Add(new Plot(Color.Magenta, PlotStyle.Bar, "HPLineDn"));
Add(new Line(Color.Transparent, 0, "ZeroLine"));

diff = new DataSeries(this);
avg = new DataSeries(this);

CalculateOnBarClose = false;
DrawOnPricePanel = false;
Overlay = false;
PriceTypeSupported = false;
PaintPriceMarkers = false;

/*
Plots[0].Pen.Width = 1; // Bertrand, if you undo this you will get <unknowns>
Plots[1].Pen.Width = 11;
Plots[2].Pen.Width = 11;
Plots[3].Pen.Width = 11;
Plots[4].Pen.Width = 11;
Plots[5].Pen.Width = 1;
*/

}

velocity, your line is not a plot, so using this throws an error to the log tab ( 'index out of bounds' ) - if you comment the last Plot width designation out it works -

Plots[0].Pen.Width = 1;
Plots[1].Pen.Width = 11;
Plots[2].Pen.Width = 11;
Plots[3].Pen.Width = 11;
Plots[4].Pen.Width = 11;
//Plots[5].Pen.Width = 1;

Ok, thanks for taking a look

Velocity,

have you tried this,

Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Blue, 5), PlotStyle.Line, "up"));

If you are not going to change the plots inside of your code, the above syntax is what I always use too.
