drawLineRelative on top of setBarBgColor

[ketoma21]

I have two moving averages, I'm using the code below to color between the two moving averages.

setBarBgColor(Color.lime,0,vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.M A),vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA));

My Problem in the same EFS I'm also using drewLine command to connect the moving average but drawLineRelative is placed underneath the setBarBgColor.

drawLineRelative(0, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA), 0, vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA), PS_SOLID, 2, Color.black, 0 );

Is there any way I can make the drawLineRelative on top of the setBarBgColor?

or is there another command I can use to fill between the two moving averages and that will let the drawLineRelative be on top?

Thank you

Try reversing the order of the drawLineRelative() and setBarBgColor() commands.

Thank you very much for the respond Alexis

I tried both and still not working the same thing happens.

Puting drawLineRelative() - setBarBgColor()
and setBarBgColor() - drawLineRelative()


Thank you

I just tried it and the lines are plotted on top of the background either way.
However in looking at the sample code you provided I see that you are plotting only one line with your drawLineRelative() command and that is on the last bar in which the condition that draws the line is true. This is because you have 0 as the Tag Name and there will only be one line drawn if the Tag Name is always the same.
Try the enclosed code and see the how the Tag Names used in the two conditions return different results
Hope this helps

var vMA1 = new MAStudy(10, 0, "Close", MAStudy.SIMPLE);
var vMA2 = new MAStudy(30, 0, "Close", MAStudy.SIMPLE);

function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("MAx2");
    setCursorLabelName("MA1", 0);
    setCursorLabelName("MA2", 1);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue, 0);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red, 1);
}

var Cntr = 0;//define the variable as Global Variable

function main() {

    if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR){//at every new bar
        Cntr++;//increase Cntr by 1
    }    
    //the following will draw a line on each bar where the condition is true
    if(vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA)>vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA)){
        drawLineRelative(0,vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA),0,vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA),PS_SOLID,2,Color.red,"line"+Cntr);
        setBarBgColor(Color.yellow,0,vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA),vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA))
    }
    //the following will draw a line only on the last bar where the condition is true
    if(vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA)<vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA)){
        drawLineRelative(0,vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA),0,vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA),PS_SOLID,2,Color.lime,0);
        setBarBgColor(Color.yellow,0,vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA),vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA))
    }

    return new Array (vMA1.getValue(MAStudy.MA),vMA2.getValue(MAStudy.MA));  
}

Thank you very Much Alexis

The Problem is wierd here is what happened,

I took your code tried it on my esignal 7.6 and I got the same problem, then on another machine I installed esignal 7.8 tried your code and mine they both work great.

I don't know why would that be the problem esignal 7.6?

I guess I have to upgrade my main machine

Thank you again
