DrawText Empty Background Bug?

[aslane]

I have some DrawText code that is no longer working on NT7B4.

The following is an example of the call:

DrawText(tag, true, text, barsAgo, price, 0, Color.White, textFont, StringAlignment.Near, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 8);

The issue is the areaColor parameter (parm 11) is not being respected when it is set to Color.Empty. On a chart with a black background, I get a light blue background instead of a transparent background (showing what is behind the text). When I plug in a different color, it is respected but obviously not transparent.

I had to add the pixelOffset param to get it to compile, but I have not seen any mention of this behavior.

We'll look into and get back to you. Thanks

Hi aslane !

The bug you reported (ignoring the Color.Empty when defaults of drawing object were set before) is fixed and the fix will be available with the next update of NinjaTrader.

Kind regards,
Christian

Fantastic. I will be sure to test it out.

In B5, this is working correctly. Thanks.
