    Draw a small dot on price pane

    I am trying to draw a small dot on the price pane.
    The DrawDot() is too big so I am trying it as a text object but I cant get the square background to show as invisable - so as to just see the dot with no frame.

    this is what i was trying but it does not work

    DrawText("str2" + CurrentBar, false, "•", 0, High[0], 40, Color.Red,new Font("Arial",10),StringAlignment.Center , Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 10);

    Any ideas?

    OK! I think i got it

    DrawText("str2" + CurrentBar, false, "•", 0, High[0], 40, Color.Red,new Font("Arial",10),StringAlignment.Center , Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);

      example of working code:

      DrawText("str1" + CurrentBar, true, "•", 0, High[0], 40, Color.Red,new Font("Arial",12),StringAlignment.Center , Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);
      DrawText("str2" + CurrentBar, true, "•", 0, High[0], 47, Color.LimeGreen,new Font("Arial",12),StringAlignment.Center , Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);
      DrawText("str3" + CurrentBar, true, "•", 0, High[0], 54, Color.Blue,new Font("Arial",12),StringAlignment.Center , Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);

        Just to follow up on this ..

        I finished a nice indicator with dots as text and as it turns out the DrawText() used this way throws my CPU to 100% and took about 30 min every time I reloded the indicator.

        Had to switch back to DrawDot() for it to be usable.
