Trendline lenght (after OBJPROP_RAY being false)

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue with trendlines. I can't have a short width horizontally. Please see the code:

string name1 = "barBody";
string name2 = "barClose";
int type = OBJ_TREND;
int window = 0;
datetime time1 = Time[1];
double price1 = High[1];
datetime time2 = Time[1];
double price2= Low[1];
datetime time3=0;
double price3=0;

ObjectCreate(name1, type, window, time1, price1, time2, price2, time3, price3);
ObjectSet(name1, OBJPROP_COLOR, Yellow);
ObjectSet(name1, OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
ObjectSet(name1, OBJPROP_WIDTH, 2);
ObjectSet(name1, OBJPROP_RAY, False);

ObjectCreate(name2, type, window, time1, Close[1], time2+3600, Close[1], time3, price3); //Bar close
ObjectSet(name2, OBJPROP_COLOR, Red);
ObjectSet(name2, OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
ObjectSet(name2, OBJPROP_WIDTH, 4);
ObjectSet(name2, OBJPROP_RAY, false); //end Bar close

The idea is to have a tick bar without the opening tick.

On the "Bar close" code block , if I change the parameter "time2+3600" to "time2+1800", or any value below 3600, it defaults to a small dot.

How can I set a shorter horizontal line?

I've seen it done already at http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=418683, I just can't replicate it. Unfortunately, this Polomine chap doesn't provide the mql4 source code.

Thanks in advance!

The line cannot be shorter than the distance from the center of one bar to the center of the next bar.

Many thanks for the information :)
