Selectable View for different Plots

[Estorki]

Dear,

I am translating and indicator from NT7 to NT8 and I am almost done (after some efforts).
I have still only one small issue to translate in order to have it t 100%, i hope someone could help me.

Here the original NT7 code

		protected override void Initialize()
		{	Overlay = true;
			Add(new Plot(new Pen(valueColor,	2),	PlotStyle.Line, "Value"));
			Add(new Plot(new Pen(angleColor, 	2), PlotStyle.Line, "Angle"));
			Add(new Plot(new Pen(triggerColor, 	2), PlotStyle.Line, "Trigger"));
		}
		//ENDInitialize
		protected override void OnStartUp()
		{	switch(view)	//
			{	case Views.Indicator:			{	Plots[0].Pen=new Pen(Color.Lime);		Plots[1].Pen = new Pen(Color.Transparent);	Plots[2].Pen = new Pen(Color.Transparent);	}	break;
				case Views.Trigger:				{	Plots[0].Pen=new Pen(Color.Transparent);Plots[1].Pen = new Pen(Color.Transparent);	Plots[2].Pen = new Pen(Color.Lime);			}	break;
				case Views.Angle:				{	Plots[0].Pen=new Pen(Color.Transparent);Plots[1].Pen = new Pen(Color.Lime);			Plots[2].Pen = new Pen(Color.Transparent);	}	break;
			}	if (view!=Views.Indicator||indicate==Indicates.RSI) ScaleJustification=ScaleJustification.Left; else ScaleJustification=ScaleJustification.Right;
		}//ENDOnStartup

Here my attemps to translate

protected void Initialize(){ ....

				// Adds a plot to our NinjaScript Indicator
				IsOverlay									= true;
				AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Blue), PlotStyle.Line, "Value");
				AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Transparent), PlotStyle.Line, "Angle");
				AddPlot(new Stroke(Brushes.Transparent), PlotStyle.Line, "Trigger");

			switch(view)
			{	case Views.Indicator:			{	PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Lime;		PlotBrushes[1][0] = Brushes.Transparent;	PlotBrushes[2][0] = Brushes.Transparent;	}	break;
				case Views.Trigger:				{	PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Transparent;PlotBrushes[1][0] = Brushes.Transparent;	PlotBrushes[2][0] = Brushes.Lime;			}	break;
				case Views.Angle:				{	PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Transparent;PlotBrushes[1][0] = Brushes.Lime;			PlotBrushes[2][0] = Brushes.Transparent;	}	break;
			}	if (view!=Views.Indicator||indicate==Indicates.RSI) ScaleJustification=ScaleJustification.Left; else ScaleJustification=ScaleJustification.Right;

At the end, the idea is to have the selector (see screen) and plot in color only one of the three indicator. The other two should plot as Transparent (shouldn't be visible). The result I am having are the three plots in colour.

Any further information needed, please ask. Will be really nice if someone could help me with this structure.

Thank you in advance!

Plots[0].Brush = Brushes.Lime; not PlotBrushes[0][0] = Brushes.Lime; et.c.

Thank you for your reply. I am trying to figure out why is still not working.

Is there an error message in your log?

Hello Estorki,

In the code you have posted for NinjaTrader 8 it appears the Initialize() override is still being used.

May I confirm this code is being added to OnStateChange() for NT8?

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/onstatechange.htm

In what State is this code triggered?

If you print the value of the PlotBrush after it is set, are you finding the color printed is the expected color?
