Drawing coloured regions on the chart
Drawing coloured regions on the chart
29 Jan 2018, 00:54
I see how to draw a line
ChartObjects.DrawLine(...);
ChartObjects.DrawText(...);
However, I would like to draw rectangles, etc, in order to form regions with background colours on the chart. Is this possible, and, if so, can you provide an example?
Also, I would like to use something similar to FromArgb to define colours as shown in the following line of code. However, I cannot find an equivalent in the the Algo.API.Colors. Does the Algo API contain a method to define colours using ARGB?
Color c = System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb(200, 150, 150, 255);
Thanks,

Hi Daniel,
Currently cAlgo does not offer any of the two functionalities. However, they are both in our backlog therefore you should expect them in a future release of cAlgo.

@Hi Panagiotis:
Any further updates on this functionality? It would be really fantastic to especially have the color zones on indicators.
Also, I hope cTrader implements it as well as ProRealTime as they do an awesome job. Here's a screen capture showing an example for your team so you can see how well your competition does it. What I especially like is how configurable their color-zone configuration is. For instance here, notice how I have one value greater-than the other:
Here's another showing the further power and flexibility I hope cTrader implements. Notice the different color zones I have, and the different conditions with the %B Bollinger Bands:
Please keep us posted on cTrader's progress.
Thanks!
