[DionysusToast]

Hi

Is it possible to draw text on panel 2 or any other panel than the main panel?

Thanks

Pete, unfortunately this is not currently possible.

You can draw either in the panel that your indicator is in, in which case you must use

DrawOnPricePanel = false;

in the Initialize() method, or you will be drawing on the price chart by default.

Pete, koganam is correct. I should've clarified my response - the indicator can draw either on the main panel or whatever panel it is currently on, but not any of the other panels.

drawing on the indicator panel

Has anyone seen a situtation where when drawing on the indicator panel then drawing on the price panel then drawing back in the indicator panel doesn't work...

example...
// Draw on the price panel...
DrawDot("Hdot" + CurrentBar.ToString(), true, HighBar, High[HighBar] + (TickSize*MDF), Color.Yellow);

// draw on the indicator panel
DrawOnPricePanel = false;
DrawDot("IHdot" + CurrentBar.ToString(), true, HighBar, Indicator[HighBar], Color.Yellow);
DrawOnPricePanel = true;

// however then draw a line....
// draw on the price panel
DrawLine("H"+ThisBar.ToString()+NextBar.ToString() , true, ThisBarAgo, High[ThisBarAgo] + (TickSize*MDF), NextBarAgo, High[NextBarAgo] + (TickSize*MDF), DLC, DSD, DLW);
DrawArrowDown("ID" + CurrentBar.ToString(), true, ThisHigh-1, High[ThisHigh-1] + (TickSize*MDF), DLC);

DrawOnPricePanel = false;
DrawLine("IH"+ThisBar.ToString()+NextBar.ToString( ), true, ThisBarAgo, Indicator[ThisBarAgo], NextBarAgo, Indicator[NextBarAgo], DLC, DSD, DLW);
DrawOnPricePanel = true;

This second drawing of the line draws on the price panel

I have found that it works fine (as expected) on NT6.5.1000.16 but not on NT6.5.1000.19

Any hints, anyone? your response is greatly appreciated!

They broke it, and now say that it was never intended to work that way anyway.
