C# Scaling question...

[funk101]

My indicator overrides Plot and draws text on the screen just above a bar's high/low. However, when I scale the chart the bars scale as they should but the text stays fixed so consequently the text mashes into the bar itself. How does one get around this?

Funk101,

Thank you for your note.

Can you please attach a screenshot of your chart and perhaps a sample of your script with what you are doing?

To send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screen shot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file. Click Reply -> Go Advanced -> Click the Paperclip icon on the top toolbar

you will need to recalculate the X,Y of the drawtext anytime the chart changes, Scroll, Zoom, Scale, and other instances.

This applies for override Plot only, not Supported Drawing.
