Overriding Plot in Indicator

[ellefk]

In Ninjatrader 8 I am trying to override Plot:

public override void Plot(Graphics graphics, Rectangle bounds, double min, double max)
{
base.Plot(graphics, bounds, min, max);
// More code will be added
}


I get error nummer CS0246. Could not find type or namespace Graphics.
Should this be working?

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

The Plot override is no longer used along with the Graphics object, instead SharpDX is now used for Rendering. For an example, please see the SampleCustomPlot Indicator, the override has changed to OnRender.

You can locate the documentation here for the new override: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...htsub=onrender

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I tried searching the "Code Breaking Changes" help page for "override" "plot" "graphics" AND "onRender", but I did not find anything, until I searched the forum for "plot override graphics"

I also tried searching the Reference Samples, but I did not find any description that would give a clue how this can be converted to NT8.

Just thought you should know, someone might want to add that to the Code Breaking Changes help page

It's interesting to see no reponse on this from NT, I am also having the same problem now. Anyone from NT team?

Hello asmmbillah,

NinjaTrader 7 uses GDI+ Graphics for chart rendering while NinjaTrader 8 uses SharpDX for chart rendering. As this code is incompatible, it will need to be rewritten to do the same in NinjaTrader 8.

Our SampleCustomRender indicator that comes with NinjaTrader 8 can be referenced for how SharpDX can be used in OnRender().

Further important information on SharpDX rendering can be found here - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._rendering.htm

Language Reference for SharpDX can be found here - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._reference.htm
