    DrawDot and DrawText y coordinate not consistent

    I'm having a hard time getting my dots and text to line up correctly on my strategy. It seems like the text is never the same distance above the dot. Here's my code:

    Code:
    DrawDot("dotTag", true, 1, (Highs[0][1] + (TickSize*4)), Color.LightSlateGray);
    
    DrawText("textTag", false, "text", 1, (Highs[0][1] + (TickSize*5)), Color.Black, defaultFont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 7);
    Some times the text is perfectly above the dot, other times it's covering the dot. I did a Print statement on the Highs[0][1] and TickSize and the numbers are right, just not drawing correctly. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks

    claxxical, welcome to our forums! Have you tried using the same AutoScale settings for both calls? The code looks good.

        Can you please post a screenshot of the behavior you get? Have you also tried another font and string alignment setting?

          I figured it out, dumb mistake. The range on the y axis was changing so 4 ticks was a different size. I fixed it with the y-offset pixel value. Thanks!
