Horzline attribute

   Peter, when we use [Horzline=x] to draw multiple horizontal lines on an
indicator, is it possible to change its attribute e.g. colour or
linestyle, without having any effect on the other lines?

I know Seahorse has asked about atrributes of horizontal lines, but I'm not sure we are asking about the same thing.

	Unfortunately not at the moment. The best way to work around this at the moment is to return the line as a calculated value instead of using the horzline attribute. (it means they don't appear in the horz line list, and can't be as readily moved, but will probably do what you're after) Eg: [color=red] 20; [color=green] 80;

	I can't seem to get horizontal dash or long dash lines on indicators. [color=black; linestyle=dash] 50; With the above script, I got a black unbroken line. Dotted lines work though.

	Hmm.. yep. That's a side effect of this not quite being the right way to do it. Will probably need to wait for horzline to support colours before you can set everything the way you need. Or, if you want to extend the temporary solution even futher, you could draw a dashed line at 50 with a very creative script like: [drawundefined=gap; color=Red] if(mod(barnumber,4)<3,50,undefined); ..but again, this is just looking for creative ways around something that isn't really possible in BullCharts at the moment.
