why drawLineAbsolute() does not work?

[clearpicks]

I just found out drawLineAbsolute() sometimes did not work as expected. As the attached screenshot shows, the line drawn was not shown while the text was shown correctly. Is there anything wrong? Please apply the script to $INDU,5 chart.

This test was done in esignal 10.2.1355.1095

var done;
function preMain()
{
setPriceStudy(true);
//setDefaultChartBG(Color.lightgrey);
}
function main() {
if ( getBarState() == BARSTATE_ALLBARS ) {
done = false;
}
else if ( done == false && getCurrentBarIndex() == 0 ) {
done = true;
if ( getSymbol().indexOf("$INDU") == 0 ) {
drawLineAbsolute(-800, 9000, 0, 9000, PS_SOLID, 4, Color.red, "Round");
drawTextAbsolute(0, 9000, " 9000 ", Color.yellow, Color.black, Text.RELATIVETOLEFT | Text.FRAME | Text.ONTOP | Text.BOLD | Text.VCENTER, "Arial", 15, "Round");
}
else if ( getSymbol().indexOf("CL ") == 0 ) {
drawLineAbsolute(-800, 75, 0, 75, PS_SOLID, 4, Color.red, "Round");
drawTextAbsolute(0, 75, " 75 ", Color.yellow, Color.black, Text.RELATIVETOLEFT | Text.FRAME | Text.ONTOP | Text.BOLD | Text.VCENTER, "Arial", 15, "Round");
}
}
}

FWIW the line is being drawn at my end as you can see in the enclosed screenshot (using version 10.2)

It also draws the line when using the same Time Template shown in your screenshot

Alex,

Thanks.

It might be caused by a corrupted or old version chart template because after creating a new blank chart that line was shown correctly.
