How can I mave candles that only show high and low of a period?

[Unmanifest]

Hi, I've been trying to get High/Low candles in TOS like the ones in TradingView.

So far, I've been able to use the deprecated AddChart function to make the candles, but I need to have them be translucent so that underlying candle-coloring schemes from other indicators can come through.

So far, this is the code I have used (found basic code in usethinkscript forums and set open and close to high and low), but I can't find a way to make the candles translucent.

HidePricePlot();

def o = GetValue(open,0);
def l = GetValue(low,0);
def h = GetValue(high,0);
def c = GetValue(close,0);

AddChart(high = h, low = l, open = h, close = l, type = ChartType.Candle, growcolor = color.GRAY);

Attached is a pic of what it looks llike as it is now. Gets the H/L part but opaque candles only.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

This should help. It paints a translucent border using the global color. The border can be the color of the candle substituing the green/red/white colors in place of the global color.

The image has the border set to the global color in the image, with the price plot set at the input to be hidden.

input hide_price_plot = no;
hidePricePlot(hide_price_plot);

input charttype = ChartType.CANDLE;
def o = open;
def h = high;
def l = low;
def c = close;

DefineGlobalColor(color = Color.white, name = "Border");

#Green
def o1 = if o<c then h else double.nan;
def c1 = if o<c then l else double.nan;
def h1 = h;
def l1 = l;

AddChart(growColor = globalColor("Border"), high = h1, low = l1, open = c1, close = o1, type = charttype);

#Red
def o2 = if o>c then h else double.nan;
def c2 = if o>c then l else double.nan;
def h2 = h;
def l2 = l;

AddChart(growColor = globalColor("Border"), high = h2, low = l2, open = c2, close = o2, type = charttype);

#White
def o3 = if o==c then h else double.nan;
def c3 = if o==c then l else double.nan;
def h3 = h;
def l3 = l;

AddChart(growColor = globalColor("Border"), high = h3, low = l3, open = c3, close = o3, type = charttype);
