How can I draw a rectangular box

[kabira]

How can I draw a rectangular box on the top wick of the body and low wick of body on the 1 hr time frame candle close. I need the boxes to be drawn only for the wicks and not the body. Top wick and bottom wick. Example if it is bearish candle close the top wick is from open to high and bottom wick is from close to low. Any help is greatly appreciated.

input Solid = Yes;

def UpperTop =
    if solid then high else max(open,close);
def UpperBot =
    if solid then max(open,close) else high;

def LowerTop =
    if solid then min(open,close) else low ;
def LowerBot =
    if solid then low else max(open,close);

addchart(UpperTop,UpperBot,UpperTop,UpperBot,
chartType.CANDLE,color.white);

addchart(LowerTop,LowerBot,LowerTop,LowerBot,
chartType.CANDLE,color.white);

great example joshua

i think this is how it works,....
if the open and close parameters are switched, it will draw an unfilled rectangle, just the border.

in this example, open and close are swapped, open = close, close = open. and it draws a yellow border.

AddChart(growcolor = GlobalColor("Box"), high = h1, low = l1, open = c1, close = o1, type = charttype);
