What have I done to erase user-drawn lines?

[Dave180]

I have some EFS code that draws a few shapes, lines and text, and erases some of them.
Not sure since when, ie what I added, but any lines I now draw manually (with the line drawing tools and the mouse that is) don't get displayed. If I draw to the right of the current bar (having dragged the chart left) they are fine. Also the grid gets erased in the same area.

What can do tha please?

Thanks

Hello Dave,

Sounds like you may be using EFS (setBarBgColor() or setDefaultBarBgColor()) to color the background of the chart bars with the same color used for the manually drawn lines. To provide some additional clues, please post a chart image and/or the code.

Jason, Hi Thanks.
I've removed all setBarBgColor() and missing lines have rematerialised!

But the lines are .blue and the setBarBgColor() is .white. So I'm not sure I completely agree with your "the same color used for the manually drawn lines" - I think I would have noticed that,
honest!

Is this therefore a bug. The code is too complex to post and I'm out of time tonight to produce a demo I'm afraid.

Hello Dave,

Right click on your chart, go to Chart Properties and make sure the "Draw Lines On Top of Price" option is enabled.

Thanks Jason, more "layers" required?
Enjoy your Independence.
