Draw line on same high

[mate41]

Hello,
i've a problem to determine the end position of the line.
Like this:

DrawLine("Resistance",true,NbBarsPrevHighs,Highh,0,???????,Color.Navy,DashStyle.Solid,3);

The ???? must be the same position of 'High' but at currentbar - 1.

Hello mate41,

Do you want the value of the "???????" to be same value as the "Highh" so that it is a horizontal line but plot 1 bar ago from the current, or did you want to just plot on the previous bars High[] value?

Happy to be of further assistance.

Hi JC,
yes i want the value of the "???????" to be same value as the "Highh" so that it is a horizontal line !

Hello mate41,

Then you can set the "???????" to the same value as the "Highh" and if you would like it to plot 1 bar ago from the current bar you can use "1". For example:

DrawLine("Resistance",true,NbBarsPrevHighs,Highh, 1 ,Highh ,Color.Navy,DashStyle.Solid,3);

Thanks ,
i did as follows and it works.

DrawLine("Resistance",true,NbBarsPrevHighs,PrevHigh + textOffset,0,PrevHigh + textOffset,Color.Navy,DashStyle.Dash,3);

But i can't change the "PlotStyle" .... DrawLine don't support it i presume.

Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Blue,3), PlotStyle.TriangleUp, "Support"));
 Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Magenta,3), PlotStyle.Line, "Resistance"));

Is there an other way i can modify the plot and dash style?

Hello mate41,
You can change the dash style of the plot using the following code.

protected override void Initialize()
{
   Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Blue,3), PlotStyle.TriangleUp, "Support"));
   Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.Magenta,3), PlotStyle.Line, "Resistance"));
   Plots[0].Pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;
   Plots[1].Pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;

   //other codes
}

Thanks,
but it didn't solve the problem.
As you can see DrawLine do not accept some of Plot.
The DashStyle is not the problem, it's the PlotStyle.

Hello mate41,

The Plot object is going to be different than the a Line object so there is not going to have the same styles or functionality. If you would like to use the different Plot styles you would have to change from using the DrawLine() method to using the Plot Class inside the indicator.
