Default How to force indicator UNDERNEATH price etc

For example DrawRectangle obscures the price bars and indicators. I tried lowering transparency but it just doesn't do it.

I am aware of BackColor to change the chart background; however, the Y values of the Rectangle are critical -- Please make a version of DrawRectangle that uses a backColor for the fill so that it is UNDERNEATH everything else?

BTW, your DrawRectangle help says this is a back color, but it really isn't. It is a fill color, I suggest you change the name to reflect that.

Certainly, a generic solution to push to the background any drawn object would be ideal, but I expect that will take longer and I prefer not to wait for ideal...

Hi Lost Trader,

This is currently a limitation. You can try out this indicator though: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=2940

Gumphrie's Candle Clear only pulls candles to the top. I need to push my indicator to the background -- in other words, it needs to be under, not just price, but also all the other indicators.

You said "currently a limitation" -- so what is the target date for correcting?
