hi

can one of you explain how to draw a vertical line on a chart

i post an example

Inputs:		Line1(True), LineTime1(0830), String LineColor1("Gray"),
			Line2(True), LineTime2(1100), String LineColor2("Red"),
			Line3(True), LineTime3(1515), String LineColor3("Gray");

Using elsystem.drawingobjects;
Using elsystem.drawing;
Variables: VerticalLine VL(null);

Method void DrawVerticalLine() begin
	VL = VerticalLine.Create(DTPoint.Create(BarDateTime,0));
	VL.Persist = False;
	DrawingObjects.Add(VL);
End;

If Line1 and T >= LineTime1 and T[1] < LineTime1 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor1);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;
If Line2 and T >= LineTime2 and T[1] < LineTime2 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor2);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;
If Line3 and T >= LineTime3 and T[1] < LineTime3 then begin
	DrawVerticalLine();
	VL.Color = Color.FromName(LineColor3);
	VL.Style = StyleType.Dashed;
	VL.Weight = 0;
End;

with this example on TS you can draw this vertical line Using elsystem.drawingobject and elsystem.drawing;

thx for help

regards

The code is not Easylanguage. It is in TS OOP extension.

It is impossible to make a translation or conversion to MultiCharts.
You have to rewrite the whole thing.

Try this:

Note: set plot style as Histogram

Code: Select all

Inputs:		Line1(True), LineTime1(0830), LineColor1(DarkGray),
			Line2(True), LineTime2(1100), LineColor2(Red),
			Line3(True), LineTime3(1515), LineColor3(DarkGray);

If Line1 and T >= LineTime1 and T[1] < LineTime1 then 
	Plot11(c*2, "Line1", LineColor1)  // set plot style as Histogram
	else	
	Plot11(0);

If Line2 and T >= LineTime2 and T[1] < LineTime2 then 
	Plot12(c*2, "Line2", LineColor2)  // set plot style as Histogram
	else	
	Plot12(0);

If Line3 and T >= LineTime3 and T[1] < LineTime3 then 
	Plot13(c*2, "Line3", LineColor3)  // set plot style as Histogram
	else	
	Plot13(0);

Is there a way to have these lines plot in advance rather than after the fact?

You need to describe your vision with hard examples.
Please draw a diagram(s) to illustrate the operation.

The lines are only drawn after the data has passed. I need the lines to be there before the data. Pic #1 shows the way that it is now. Pic #2 is the way t hat I need it to be.

You need to describe your vision with hard examples.

What are those lines? Date/time lines?
What are the LOGIC of those line?
When do you want them plotted? Beginning of each day to plot the end of the day?

You need to describe your vision with DETAIL hard examples,
You need to describe your logic,
not just a bit of info here and there.
No one can read your mind.

You can make the line with PLOT1[ -1 ] .
