Members

Name	Type	Summary
CloudAttribute	Method	The cloud between the indicator lines.
FirstColor	Property	Cloud color when the first line is above the second one. If not specified, the color of the first line is used.
FirstLineName	Property	The name of the first indicator line.
Opacity	Property	The cloud opacity. Value can be set from 0 (transparent) to 1 (opaque). Values higher than 1 will be set to 1, values below 0 will be set to 0. Opacity is multiplied by the alpha channel of the active color (first or second color). Default opacity value is 0.2.
SecondColor	Property	Cloud color when the second line is above the first one. If not specified, color of the second line is used.
SecondLineName	Property	The name of the second indicator line.
