Hello, After upgrading to 1919 the DRAWING_LINE is no longer working. I was able to use DRAWING_HORIZONTAL_LINE_NON_EXTENDED as a replacement for some drawings but I use the Line tool to draw vertical lines also. I did not see a "NON_EXTENDED" version for vertical lines. I also use the Line tool for lines that are not horizontal or vertical. In the code below you can switch drawing types to see that the DRAWING_LINE tool is not working. All variables have been commented out and replaced with fixed values for simplicity. Thanks, WT //Zero line for tick chart
TickPrice.Clear(); TickPrice.ChartNumber = RemoteChartNum; TickPrice.AddAsUserDrawnDrawing = 0; TickPrice.Region = 0; TickPrice.DrawingType = DRAWING_LINE; //DRAWING_HORIZONTAL_LINE_NON_EXTENDED; //DRAWING_LINE; //TickPrice.MarkerType = MARKER_TRIANGLELEFT; //TickPrice.MarkerSize = 5; TickPrice.LineWidth = 3; //TickPrice.MarkerSize = 8; TickPrice.LineStyle = LINESTYLE_SOLID; TickPrice.LineNumber = 34313355l; // + ChartNumID; TickPrice.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST; TickPrice.UseRelativeVerticalValues = 1; TickPrice.BeginDateTime = 50; //BarLocation + 2; //TickPrice.BeginIndex = sc.Index+1; TickPrice.BeginValue = 50; //ValueLocation + TickDisplay + Overlap; TickPrice.EndDateTime =55; // BarLocation + 5; //TickPrice.BeginIndex = sc.Index+1; TickPrice.EndValue = 50; //ValueLocation + TickDisplay + Overlap; // will include negative numbers TickPrice.Color = RGB(255, 255, 255); /*if (sc.BaseData[SC_LAST][sc.Index] > ValueHighPrice) { TickPrice.Color = RGB(0, 255, 0); //TickPrice.MarkerSize = 8; TickPrice.LineWidth = 5; } else if (sc.BaseData[SC_LAST][sc.Index] < ValueLow) { TickPrice.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0); //TickPrice.MarkerSize = 8; TickPrice.LineWidth = 5; } else if ((WickResetNum == 2) && (sc.BaseData[SC_LAST][sc.Index] >= 2)) //light blue TickPrice.Color = RGB(86, 97, 235); else if ((WickResetNum == 2) && (sc.BaseData[SC_LAST][sc.Index] <= -2)) //light red TickPrice.Color = RGB(223, 100, 100); else TickPrice.Color = RGB(128, 128, 128); */ sc.UseTool(TickPrice); Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-26 00:00:18

We do not observe any problem with this. This needs to be removed as it is ignored: TickPrice.ChartNumber = RemoteChartNum; Refer to the documentation for that variable: Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study: s_UseTool::ChartNumber Also you should no longer be assigning a line number: TickPrice.LineNumber = 34313355l; Refer to: Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study: s_UseTool::LineNumber Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Hello, I took out TickPrice.ChartNumber = RemoteChartNum; amd TickPrice.LineNumber = 34313355l; Since AddAsUserDrawnDrawing = 0 taking thoes lines should not make a difference since it is UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST, but I did it anyway - same result. If you change the tool type to DRAWING_HORIZONTAL_LINE_NON_EXTENDED the line shows up as expected. I believe using UseRelativeVerticalValues = 1 may be the issue here. I have had problems with relative values in the past. Usually I can find a work around - so I never did post anything about it. In this case there is no work around. Do you need me to make a chartbook with this code? Not sure this is necessary if you run my simple code with the two different Drawing Types in question. This is an study that has been running for over four years and I have been coding SC for over eight years. I am also a professional developer outside of trading. Please let me know if you need a chartbook. Thanks, -WT |

Hello, Here is a chartbook showing the problem. The only difference between the two studies is the use of DRAWING_LINE and DRAWING_HORIZONTAL_LINE_NON_EXTENDED Thanks, WT Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-27 20:53:53
