What drawing objects are available in TradingView Pine Script v6?

Pine Script v6 supports five core drawing types: lines (line.new), boxes (box.new), labels (label.new), tables (table.new), and polylines (polyline.new). Each object has specialized methods for positioning, styling, updating coordinates, and managing garbage collection.

How do I increase the maximum number of drawings on my chart?

In the indicator() or strategy() declaration statement at the top of your script, specify parameters such as max_lines_count=500, max_boxes_count=500, and max_labels_count=500. The maximum allowed limit per drawing type in Pine Script v6 is 500.

What is the difference between xloc.bar_index and xloc.bar_time?

xloc.bar_index specifies horizontal coordinates using historical bar offset numbers (0, 1, 2... bar_index). xloc.bar_time uses UNIX epoch timestamps in milliseconds, which allows drawings to project into the future past the current real-time bar.

Why do older drawings disappear from my TradingView chart?

TradingView uses automatic garbage collection. Once the number of active drawing instances exceeds the allocated max count (default 50, max 500), Pine Script automatically deletes the oldest drawing instance. To prevent running out of memory, you can also manually delete unneeded drawings using line.delete() or box.delete().

Can Pineify generate Pine Script drawings without manual coding?

Yes. Pineify’s Visual Pine Script Editor and AI Coding Agent allow you to visually design automated support/resistance lines, order block boxes, target labels, and custom HUD tables without writing complex coordinate math by hand.

The 5 Core Drawing Types in Pine Script v6

Unlike standard plot() statements that draw continuous series from left to right, drawing objects can be instantiated dynamically anywhere on the chart, modified across bars, and extended into future space.

1. line.new() • Trendlines & Levels

Draws a straight line between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Supports custom colors, line widths, and styles (solid, dashed, dotted). Use extend=extend.right to project ray lines.

2. box.new() • Zones & Order Blocks

Creates rectangular areas defined by left, top, right, and bottom coordinates. Ideal for highlighting Fair Value Gaps (FVG), institutional order blocks, and session ranges.

3. label.new() • Markers & Text Tooltips

Places dynamic text markers on or around candles. Supports custom shapes (arrows, balloons, flags), font sizes, and relative anchors such as yloc.abovebar or yloc.belowbar.

4. table.new() • On-Screen Dashboards

Renders stationary grid HUDs anchored to chart corners (e.g. position.top_right). Ideal for displaying multi-timeframe RSI matrices, profit/loss stats, or account metrics.

5. polyline.new() • Multi-Segment Paths

Connects multiple sequential points into complex geometric shapes, wave patterns (Elliott Wave), or custom polygon fills.

//@version=6
indicator("Pine Script v6 Drawings Demo [Pineify]", overlay=true, max_boxes_count=500, max_lines_count=500, max_labels_count=500)

// ---------------- 1. Drawing a Horizontal Support/Resistance Line ----------------
var line sr_line = na
if barstate.islast
    // Draw line from 50 bars ago to current bar
    sr_line := line.new(
         x1=bar_index - 50, y1=high[50],
         x2=bar_index,      y2=high[50],
         xloc=xloc.bar_index,
         color=color.blue, width=2, style=line.style_dashed
     )

// ---------------- 2. Drawing a Supply/Demand Zone Box ----------------
var box order_block = na
is_pivot_high = ta.pivothigh(high, 5, 5)
if not na(is_pivot_high)
    order_block := box.new(
         left=bar_index - 5, top=high[5],
         right=bar_index + 10, bottom=low[5],
         border_color=color.red, bgcolor=color.new(color.red, 85)
     )

// ---------------- 3. Drawing an Informational Label ----------------
if ta.crossover(ta.ema(close, 9), ta.ema(close, 21))
    label.new(
         x=bar_index, y=low,
         text="Bullish Cross\nPrice: " + str.tostring(close, "#.##"),
         yloc=yloc.belowbar,
         color=color.green, textcolor=color.white,
         style=label.style_label_up, size=size.small
     )

Important Performance Rule: Always declare max_boxes_count=500 and max_lines_count=500 in your indicator() declaration. Without these parameters, Pine Script defaults to a conservative limit of 50 drawings, causing earlier lines and boxes to be deleted unexpectedly.
