| Parameter        | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| owner            | The hosting **NinjaScript** object which is calling the draw method. Typically will be the object which is calling the draw method (e.g., "this").                                                                                                        |
| tag              | A 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. |
| isAutoScale      | Determines if the draw object will be included in the y-axis scale.                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| barsAgo          | The bar the object will be drawn at. A value of 10 would be 10 bars ago.                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| time             | The time the object will be drawn at.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| y                | The y value.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| brush            | The brush used to color draw object ([reference](/developer/desktop-sdk/references/common/drawing/brushes)).                                                                                                                                              |
| drawOnPricePanel | Determines if the draw-object should be on the price panel or a separate panel.                                                                                                                                                                           |
| isGlobal         | Determines if the draw object will be global across all charts which match the instrument.                                                                                                                                                                |
| templateName     | The 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

```csharp
// Paints a red diamond on the current bar 1 tick below the low
Draw.Diamond(this, "tag1", true, 0, Low[0] - TickSize, Brushes.Red);
```
