Horizontal Lines Study "Draw Style" doesn't work properly.

Will only do solid and dot.
Not Dash or any other.

We do not understand what you mean by this.

What is meant by "doesn't work properly". Be very clear and specific.

I have the "Horizontal Lines Study" in Region 3 of my 1 second charts.
In looking at it again, I've seen the problem more specifically.
When choosing in the Study: Subgraphs>Draw Style>Line Style.
I choose Line and Dash.

Originally, when I sent this message, all that was seen was a "Solid" Line.
On further inspection, I see that if I have the "Width/Size" more then "1", then it turns into a "Solid" line (obviously from the magnification). So really it doesn't "turn" into a line, it just appears that way.
This is different then when I change the width on any other tool regarding line width/size.

I would suppose that because its magnifying in a different way then other line/tools. Basically it makes the width/Size button useless because you only get the one size. I've only seen this on this study. Incidentally the "Dot" goes to 3 and you can still tell its a dot.

So I imagine the answer is that when magnifying, they will inherently run together. Why then is it different for say a normal "Line" tool?
Should the "dashes" be made less wide, so when magnifying, they don't run together?

All of this is documented here:
Chart Studies: Subgraphs Tab >> Line Style

To save yourself time and our time, refer to the documentation first. It is very thorough.
