Request a new Tool.LineStyle be added to the DRAWING_LINE Drawing Type named: LINESTYLE_POINT
Drawing only 1 single point per bar from BeginValue to EndValue.

Thank you!

You can get this done by running a loop from the begin Index to the End index and draw a point.

expmale:

int StartIndex = 500;
int EndIndex = 520;
for(int i = StartIndex; i <= EndIndex; i++){
s_UseTool Points;  
  Points.Clear();  
  Points.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber;
  Points.DrawingType = DRAWING_MARKER;  
  Points.MarkerType = MARKER_POINT;  
  Points.MarkerSize = 5; // some int for the size;  
  Points.Color = RGB(0,255,0); //or whatever RGB color code
  Points.LineNumber = 1000; //some int for the Line Number
  Points.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_ALWAYS;                    
  Points.UseRelativeVerticalValues = 0 ;
  Points.BeginIndex= i;      
  Points.BeginValue = //the price at which you want the line;          
  sc.UseTool(Points);  
}

Hi yon,

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my request.

Your approach would work fine if I were drawing flat horizontal lines with the same price value. However, drawing a few hundred trendlines, per 1 minute chart, on angles would require me to calculate the price value for each bar to draw the marker point. A few hundred trendlines would quickly turn into thousands of individual price markers with a whole lot of looping going on and require a lot of processing power.

I thought maybe SC could just possibly make the DRAWING_MARKER POINT style also available to the DRAWING_LINE member.

Thank you!

Looking at this again, this is not technically possible. You will need to use a study Subgraph for this and use the Point Draw Style.
