Painting Regions Need Revisit

[aligator]

Dear Support,

Compared to competition, the outdated NT8 Painting Region looks bad on NinjaTrader and needs a desperate upgrade to fill at pixel level. A very old issue, and no action. Meanwhile, perhaps you can provide a short script for rendering the Draw.Region correctly.

Thanks.

Hello aligator,

Thank you for your post.

Extra code would be required to paint between crosses instead of bar slots. If you want pixel level filled regions you'd want to use SharpDX rendering to paint them to the chart. I'd take a look at the Ichimoku Cloud indicator publicly available on our User App Share for a good example of this:

Here's further information on using SharpDX to render to the chart from our help guide:

Thanks Kate,

The idea is a generic fix of the Draw.Region in a future revision of NT, otherwise it will always be a custom fix after 24 revisions of NT8.

Cheers!

Hi Kate,

fwiw. No response so far to post #3

Granted that correctly filled region can be achieved using SharpDX. But this is actually a generic issue that can be fixed under the hood for good. Not everyone using NT is a SharpDX expert.

How about suggesting it as an improvement, because the Draw.Region method does not look good for its current NT aesthetics.

Hello aligator,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I have added a vote for you to a current feature request to have Draw.Region expanded to fill regions between crossovers with a simple Draw.Region call. This request is being tracked under the number SFT-4110.

As with all feature requests, interest is tracked before implementation is considered, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment. If implemented, it will be noted in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide.
