Draws a dot.

Method Return Value

A Dot object that represents the draw object.

Syntax

Draw.Dot(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, DateTime time, double y, Brush brush)
Draw.Dot(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int barsAgo, double y, Brush brush)
Draw.Dot(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, DateTime time, double y, Brush brush, bool drawOnPricePanel)
Draw.Dot(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int barsAgo, double y, Brush brush, bool drawOnPricePanel)
Draw.Dot(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, DateTime time, double y, bool isGlobal, string templateName)
Draw.Dot(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, int barsAgo, double y, bool isGlobal, string templateName)

Parameters

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)
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 dot is tied to the chart's BarWidth and thus will scale automatically as the chart is resized

Examples


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