Draw line in DrawingTools

[artson]

Hi,

Is it possible to draw a line into DrawingTools using "Draw.Line"?

Finally I could draw a line using the "RenderTarget.DrawLine", but I would like to do it with Draw.Line, using coordinates referred to the bars....

thanks!

Hello artson,
Thanks for your post.

Please clarify, do you want to use Draw.Line inside of a custom drawing tool?

Why not use an indicator? What is your objective?

Hi,

Yes, I want to use Draw.Line inside a custom drawing tool.
I think it will be easier to draw elements taking into account directly the bars and its prices, rather than through the position on the screen.

I want to draw things between two points that I select with the mouse (anchor), similar to OrderFlowVolumeProfile....

Thx

That will not be possible. The Draw methods will only be available in an Indicator or a Strategy. I would consider DrawingTools to be an advanced topic and you would need to use the methods and properties available to drawing tools: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...wing_tools.htm

If you want to use any of the line logic built into the NT Drawing Tools you can open the "Lines" script (under the DrawingTools folder in the NS Editor) and navigate to the desired portion of code. Each section of code will be labeled with what line it is pertaining to. However, the Order Flow Volume Profile code will not be available.

Ok, thanks

Yes, I learnt to draw lines inside DrawingTools

It will be more complicated but I'll try to do it.

Thanks anyway!
