Hello,
I am not familiar with ninjascript!!! Would someone please help me out with line issue I am trying to resolve.
I would like to make a solid line a dashed line.
Here is the line code in the indy:

Add(new Line(Color.DarkViolet, -40, "Lower"));
Add(new Line(Color.YellowGreen, 40, "Upper"));

I would like to make these 2 lines dashed when I add the indy to a chart.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Thank you for your time

Add(new Plot(Color.Magenta, "PLOTNAME"));
Plots[1].PlotStyle = PlotStyle.Line;
Plots[1].Pen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dash;
Plots[1].Pen.Width = 1.0f;


as an example...

WOW!!! Thanks for replying so fast Turning Point!!
Maybe I did not give enough information. I added the code you posted and it worked. But it changed the wrong line.
Here is the code for all the lines in the indy:

Add(new Plot(Color.Green, "SMI")); //<<<<Your code dashed this one>>>>>
Add(new Plot(Color.Orange, "SMIEMA"));

Add(new Line(Color.Firebrick, 0, "Zero")); //<<<<<Trying to dash this>>>>>
Add(new Line(Color.Gray, -50, "Lower")); //<<<<<Trying to dash this>>>>>
Add(new Line(Color.Gray, 50, "Upper")); //<<<<<Trying to dash this>>>>>

My bad for not asking for the right help!!!

Thanks again for your help!!!

you are having 2 diff type of objects; a plot and a line. Ninja keeps track of plots you add, the first add plot = plot (0) the second add plot = plot (1). The same with lines, first add line = line(0) etc...So pay attention to order of lines, plots when you refer to them.
