I have an indicator that draws a plot and a series of rectangles. Right now the plot is being drawn behind the rectangles. How can I change the order so that the plot is drawn over the rectangle?

If I remember right, add ZOrder = x to the OnStartUp() section. For 'x' I cannot remember how it works, either higher or lower value takes precedence. So try something like ZOrder = -1.
Thanks for the reply. The issue I have is that I need to be able to set the ZOrder for individual drawing objects as well as the Plot inside the same indicator.
As far as I know this is not possible. When faced with the same problem I just run two copies of the same indicator on the same chart, with optional objects on or off and then use the usual Shift-mouse wheel to lift up/down the Z-order of one of the indicators.
(It may be possible using the direct object interface calls but I have no access to Ninja at present so cannot check.)
