First off I would like to thank all the intelligent generous people on this site. Secondly, let me apologize, I know this sections is reserved for programmers and I probably the furthest thing from one. So please keep that in mind in your responses. On my charts I have the ColorZone3 Indicator and I have right margin of 100. So the indicator only plots to the current bar and I would like it to plot all the way to the end of the chart. I did some research and I think this is the line in the code that I need to modify,
"DrawRegion("Zone1", CurrentBar, 0, myDataSeries1, myDataSeries2, zone1ClrBdr, zone1Clr, opacity );"
I've tried replacing the term "CurrentBar" with some ridiculous laymen terms that I thought might work, to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

I've attached a screenshot of what I mean.
Cheers.

This will be difficult to achieve with DrawRegion(). However, as you want to draw a rectangle, you might try DrawRectangle(). It uses variables of type double , so something like

 

Code

"DrawRectangle("Zone1", true, -10, myDataSeries1[0], CurrentBar, myDataSeries2[0], zone1ClrBdr, zone1Clr, opacity );"

should do the trick. The negative value - in bold - should extend your rectangle to the right border of the chart.

Worked great, Thanks FT. Gotta love copy + paste.

You can do that now? I thought at one point that use to crash NT.

Not aware of that problem, can you link to it?

I think that was early version of version 6. I had not tried it since. I remember trying that and crashing it.

That was a long time ago. actually, I do not know whether is works, but so far have had no problems. Just did it.

That's good to know. Man! I had to jump thru so many hoops a couple of years ago just to do something simple like that, and I made sure to give Ray at NT a good piece of my mind about it I guess that is progress. Now, I have to go back and change all my code

@Fat Tails,

Can one use the Drawregion to fill between say the 30 and 70 lines on RSI indicator in indicator panel?

I tried it, but it painted inside the entire main series panel.

Thanks.
