modifying size of several plots with one input parameter

[guidoisot]

Hello, depending on the resolutoin of the monitor I use, the blocks of my custom indicator appear to be either too big or too small.
I have tried to add an input parameter in the indicator for changing the size of a set of its plots, but it doesn't work.
With regard to attached image: if (in the lower resolution monitor) I set to 4 the size of the blocks, it has no effect on them, they all remain at size 7, the default value assigned in the script.
Please can explain why this happens and whether/how it is possible to get this feature for the indicator .
Thank you.

Hello guidoisot,

Thank you for your reply.

The plot size you have there would not increase the painted width of your bars, it's being applied to the lines plotted for the indicator itself. Bar width may be modified by an indicator but is primarily controlled by the Chart Style.

To influence the width of bars from an indicator, you would need to modify the value of ChartControl.BarWidth:

Hello Kate,

Thank you for your reply.
Maybe my English was not clear. What I wanted to change are not the price bars, but just the plots of the indicator, as shown on the image I attached

Hello guidoisot,

Thank you for your reply.

No, you're clear, I just missed that the indicator was using the block plot - looked like chart bars on a first glance. You're setting the widths within State.SetDefaults, which is being overridden by the user values. Try setting the plot widths in State.Configure instead:

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
Plots[0].Width = Plot_Size;
}
