Draw.Diamond(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int barsAgo, double y, bool isGlobal, string templateName)

Draw.Diamond(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, DateTime time, double y, bool isGlobal, string templateName)

Parameters

ParameterDescription
ownerThe hosting NinjaScript object which is calling the draw method. Typically will be the object which is calling the draw method (e.g., “this”).
tagA 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.
isAutoScaleDetermines if the draw object will be included in the y-axis scale.
barsAgoThe bar the object will be drawn at. A value of 10 would be 10 bars ago.
timeThe time the object will be drawn at.
yThe y value.
brushThe brush used to color draw object (reference).
drawOnPricePanelDetermines if the draw-object should be on the price panel or a separate panel.
isGlobalDetermines if the draw object will be global across all charts which match the instrument.
templateNameThe 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).

Tip: The size of the diamond is tied to the chart’s BarWidth and thus will scale automatically as the chart is resized.

Examples

1// Paints a red diamond on the current bar 1 tick below the low
