Hello, I am developing a custom ACSIL study in Sierra Chart that draws markers using sc.UseTool() with DRAWING_MARKER. Questions: 1. Is transparency supported for DRAWING_MARKER (Circle/Diamond/Square)? 2. If yes, what is the correct ACSIL property to control marker transparency? 3. If not, is there another drawing type recommended for creating transparent Markers? |

No, Transparency is not supported with the Marker drawing tool. You would need to use the Rectangle tool but this needs to span at least two or more bars.

Can we have any example of how to use this DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_CIRCLE_VARIABLE_SIZE ? any example code ? I cant find any example from studies-studies8 files Is DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_CIRCLE_VARIABLE_SIZE sizes fixed ? only controllable through subgraph table ? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2026-05-07 15:40:04

Is DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_CIRCLE_VARIABLE_SIZE sizes fixed ? only controllable through subgraph table ?
It wouldn't be very variable then though would it. Check the link here, it tells you what you need to know - ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Subgraph Array: sc.Subgraph[].DrawStyle DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_CIRCLE_VARIABLE_SIZE (The sc.Subgraph[].Data[] array contains the Chart Region y- coordinate. The circle size in pixels is controlled through the sc.Subgraph[].Arrays[0][] array.)
