rendering question (draw a figure "under" the bars)

[jibanes]

Is it possible to draw a line on the chart "under" the bars/candlesticks as opposed to the default addFigure() behavior which overlays it on top?

Yes. I use the screwdriver/rentch (top right) tab just double click a trend line set your angle and drag it to where you want it. If you have any direct Question DM me on twitter @doplus

I meant using the sdk, programmatically.

Have you tried using the line function? You can designate a start/stop that has coordinates of time/price. That should allow you to place a line anywhere you want.

Well, yes, that's what I'm doing, I'm wondering if there's a way to draw a line(s) "under" the chart plane, so it doesn't cover/hide it, there's got to be a way to do that, but I haven't found how.

 

[Omegaknight]

If your using an indicator that has the settings menu already, can't you just check the underlay box and that will make the lines the indicator draws "under" the price bars.

 

[jibanes]

Ah I think that works, is there anyway to "check" that box by default using the sdk?

Found it:

StudyHeader (MotiveWave SDK API)

declaration: package: com.motivewave.platform.sdk.study, annotation type: StudyHeader

www.motivewave.com

underlayByDefault=true

That solves my problem, thanks @Omegaknight for the pointer.
