Does ZOrder still work?

Desktop SDK - Indicators

Is it possible to have an Indicator draw a rectangle with 100% opacity that doesn’t obscure everything else?

My research led me to something called ZOrder, but it seems to be largely an NT7 thing. Does it still exist in NT8? And if, so, what would the syntax look like for layering objects so that Plots and Lines are higher than Rectangles?

Thanks in advance!

I have NT8 and use Zorder. It works already many years for me.

  1. Hold the SHIFT key down
  2. Select the item you wish to be upfront with the cursor
  3. Scroll with your mouse and watch how you will see numbers appear. 1 is on top, 2 is just under 1, 3 is under 2 etc…

Google ‘ninjascript zindex’ the first link is how it’s done. And it works.
