EasyLanguage Object Reference
DrawingObject Class
A base class that all drawing objects derive from, which contains properties and events common to all drawing objects as defined below. See About Drawing Objects for more information on using drawing objects.
The Persist property allows the default behavior of drawing objects created in an indicator using the “Update value intra-bar” setting to be overridden. By default, the EasyLanguage run-time environment will not allow multiple instances of a drawing object to be created on an intra-bar basis. This behavior is intended to simplify the code required when creating drawing objects. If the Persist property is set to True, multiple instances can be created. This property is useful when creating drawing objects in events not related to bar updates. Note this is an advanced feature and in most cases, should be left with the default value False.
