Parameters

owner

The hosting NinjaScript object which is calling the draw method

 

Typically will be the object which is calling the draw method (e.g., "this")

tag

A user defined unique id used to reference the draw object.

 

For example, if you pass in a value of "myTag", each time this tag is used, the same draw object is modified. If unique tags are used each time, a new draw object will be created each time.

isAutoScale

Determines if the draw object will be included in the y-axis scale. Default value is false.

startBarsAgo

The starting bar (x axis co-ordinate) where the draw object will be drawn. For example, a value of 10 would paint the draw object 10 bars back.

startTime

The starting time where the draw object will be drawn

startY

The starting y value co-ordinate where the draw object will be drawn

endBarsAgo

The end bar (x axis co-ordinate) where the draw object will terminate

endTime

The end time where the draw object will terminate

endY

The end y value co-ordinate where the draw object will terminate

brush

The brush used to color draw object (reference)

dashStyle

DashStyleHelper.Dash
DashStyleHelper.DashDot
DashStyleHelper.DashDotDot
DashStyleHelper.Dot
DashStyleHelper.Solid

 

Note: Drawing objects with y values very far off the visible canvas can lead to performance hits. Fancier DashStyles like DashDotDot will also require more resources than simple DashStyles like Solid.

width

The width of the draw object

drawOnPricePanel

Determines if the draw-object should be on the price panel or a separate panel

isGlobal

Determines if the draw object will be global across all charts which match the instrument

templateName

The name of the drawing tool template the object will use to determine various visual properties (empty string could be used to just use the UI default visuals instead)

 

 

Examples

ns

// Draws a dotted lime green line from 10 bars back to the current bar
// with a width of 2 pixels
Draw.Line(this, "tag1", false, 10, 1000, 0, 1001, Brushes.LimeGreen, DashStyleHelper.Dot, 2);
