No Solid Lines

[charley]

Hi!

I am using the following Ichimoku study and am trying to get all of the lines that make up the Kumo to be dotted instead of solid. The changes that I made to lines 80,187 and 188 have done so to all of the vertical lines that make up the cloud and also to the 26 period offset. But I am unable to get the solid lines that create the Senkou Span A and B of the prior and current candles to change. I know that these changes can be made if you edit the settings, but I was hoping to set this default in the efs itself.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, just add:

    setDefaultBarStyle( PS_DOT, 3 ); 
    setDefaultBarStyle( PS_DOT, 4 ); 

inside preMain(), like under "setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.purple, 4);"

These two lines are plots returned in main() by the return statement and not drawn by drawLineRelative().

Thank you Wayne!

You are as brilliant as always.
