Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
I know that it is just DrawRegion(). Even DrawRectangle() will draw on top of the background. However, for my NinjaTrader indicators I have mostly used DrawRegion(), and for a simple reason:
If I use DrawRectangle and also have horizontal lines within the same indicator, DrawRectangle plots on top of those lines, which I do not want. If I set ZOrder to negative values that will shift the rectangles behind the price bars, but it also shifts the lines printed by the same indicator, which remain covered by the rectangle.
DrawRegion() politely plots behind everything else, which is what I usually want. Now some mad guys want tho show off, and the advantage of DrawRegion() becomes an inconvenient.
I am not proficient enough to find a solution to the problem, and I am not willing to invest my time, as I will never use this gadget.
I finally figured out the FillPolyGon stuff ... made my head hurt .... but like my daddy always said ... even a blind hog finds an acorn occassionally ...
I'm just a simple man trading a simple plan.

I took your suggestion of using the same image and changing the hue depending on the trend. It works great , you just have to choose a "good" image to start with.
Your BB (Bolliger Band) has the Z Order code to make it work on the background; so, for any indicator with fills feature (e.g. Fat Tails' BB and VWAP, etc ), they have to be tweaked with Z Order for their fill painting to appear on the background... RIGHT ? How easy is this ?
