color.darkgrey
color.controlwhite

i need a particular color

etc.

Hello Mike,
This is more of a C# query however ou can find the names of the all supported color from here

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.drawing.color.aspx

And to clarify are you trying to create an array of the colors?

I look forward to assisting you further.

thanks! exactly what I needed. i'm just using these colors in the ninja script color array.

Hello Mike,
Thanks for your note.

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

I have a similar question. Is it possible to determine the default color of the "line" object, for example? I don't want to change the default, but merely know what color it is (from NinjaScript).

In a related example, if I wanted to determine the color of the "axis", I would do something like: ChartControl.AxisColor. Is there one for a Line?

Thanks!

I don't think this is exactly what you're looking for, but you could just create a Line object, then use Line.Pen.Color to get the color.

I thought of that. However, I can't DRAW a line without specifying the color. But, if I merely create an object like this...

NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Line tempLine = new NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Line();
Print (tempLine.Pen.Color.ToString()); 

... then it's not the correct value. (It says "DarkGray", when my actual default is "Firebrick")

Also, Ninja won't let me create the abstract class "ILine".

Is there another way of creating the line object that you meant?

Thanks!

Nope, you've covered everything I would've thought of. Too bad it didn't work.

Boo! ;]

Thanks for the ideas, though. I'll keep brainstorming.

Try Line[0].Pen.Color for your first line (Line[1] for second), going from memory here so it might not be 100%.

But if there are currently no lines on the chart, how will that give me the default line color?

I see what you are asking. There would be no default line color, I think, because there is no line without creating one and to create one you need to specify a color. Using axis color as an example is misleading because there is always a color assigned to the axis while a chart is in existence and a color does not need to be specified by the user when a chart is opened because there is a default.

[neoikon]

Thanks for the reply. I see what you are saying, but there is still a default color for the user drawn Line objects. Even on a clean install of NT, if you open a chart and draw a line, the line will be a particular color. This color can be changed, obviously, but there will always be a "default" color for the user drawn line objects.

That's the color I'm looking to determine. :] I don't want my indicator to conflict with that particular color, which is why I am looking to find it. I think I found a work around for my particular situation that should work in 99% of the cases, but it's not perfect. Being able to explicitly find out, would be ideal.

Alright, I was referring to programmatically drawn lines, not draw object tools. Can't help there.
