"Tagging" Graphics g DrawRecangle() in Plot()...

[funk101]

When using DrawRectangle with NinjaScript the signature allows for a "tag" to give the rectangle a unique id, so after it draws, it can remain on the chart. However, when overriding Plot() and using the "Graphics.DrawRectangle()" there is NO tag param. So consequently, my rectangle disappears and redisplays in another location OnBarUpdate(). How can I get my indicator to keep adding rectangles when overriding Plot()?

NinjaScript signature:
DrawRectangle("tag1", 10, Low[10] - TickSize, 5, High[5] + Ticksize, Color.Blue);

Graphics g DrawRectangle() (C#) signature (notice no "tag1" - unique id param):
public void DrawRectangle(
Pen pen,
int x,
int y,
int width,
int height
)

Hello,

Unfortunately when you override plot you loss this functionality. So you would need to create your own tag ID method to do what you are looking to do.

Unfortunately since this is unsupported I cannot give further information then the above.

I look forward to assisting you further.

Repaint or Invalidate...

Does this happen globally when resizing the chart? Specifically in Plot()?

Hello,

Unfortunaley would only have to have you test to see if it gets called as this is what I would have to do.

Plot() override is there is a sandbox for you to play in to customize and do virtually anything your looking to do. Because of this it is fully unsupported. If you have any questions on the NinjaScript functions I would be happy to answer these no problem.
