drawLineAbsolute

[dloomis]

drawLineAbsolute(0, xStochKH.getValue(0), 0, xStochKL.getValue(0), PS_SOLID, 1, Color.RGB(0,0,255), count) doesn't seem to work, but debugPrintln( xStochKH.getValue(0)+" "+xStochKL.getValue(0)+" "+count ) ; and return new Array ( xStochKH.getValue(0), xStochKL.getValue(0)); do.

Am I missing something?

In what way is it not working? I tried it at my end and it appears to be drawing the line [or more appropriately lines] correctly

The only line that draws is one at the end, from 0 to 100.

Usually that means I am not 'tagging' the line properly, but count is incrementing in the debugPrintln statement.

The reason why you are seeing a line from 0 to 100 is because that is one of the many lines you are drawing at the absolute bar index 0 as the formula is executing on historical bars
You only see one line because they are all located on the same bar index 0.
Try replacing the tagID count with [for example] "line" and you will see that only one line will be drawn between those two values
Alternatively replace drawLineAbsolute() with drawLineRelative() and you will see a line on each bar between the corresponding values

I see, thanks, how do i get the historical lines to draw for bars -1 thru -100.

Thanks again.

You could do that in the following way
Alex

if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR) count++;
    if(count>100) count = 0;
    
    drawLineRelative(0, xStochKH.getValue(0), 0, xStochKL.getValue(0), PS_SOLID, 1, Color.RGB(0,0,255), count);

I got the same results with your suggestion so I ended up using a 'for' loop from 1 to 100, using -i instead of 0, works fine,

if(getBarState()==BARSTATE_NEWBAR) {count++;
//debugPrintln( xStochKH.getValue(0)+" "+xStochKL.getValue(0)+" "+count ) ;
for ( i = 0 ; i <100 ; i++ ) {
drawLineAbsolute(-i, xStochKH.getValue(-i), -i, xStochKL.getValue(-i), PS_SOLID, 1, Color.RGB(0,0,255), i)
} }

I bet it works lousy real time tho, we will see.

Did you also replace drawLineAbsolute() with drawLineRelative()?
As far as I can see at my end my suggestion is drawing only the lines on the most recent 100 bars

Here is what I am seeing using my suggestion

I got it now, for some reason when i changed the return statement from

return null;

to return new Array (...)

and then back it worked.

Before that, nada.

Your Dockers are in the mail buddy! Thanks!

You are most welcome (and you can still keep the Dockers...)
