DrawText etc

[Lost Trader]

I am trying to use DrawText() in an indicator on Volume (so it is in the Volume Pane 2 and not the Price Panel). No output appears.

Do these Draw routines work in other panes??

If not, how can I add a mark to Volume bars? e.g., a single text character just over the volume bar?

Please set DrawOnPricePanel = false.

Oddly enough, Josh, I already did that in the Initialize() method.
DrawOnPricePanel = false;
It did not help... :-)

Any other suggestions? What I started with is VERY simple:

if (Volume[0] > Volume[1]) // increasing bar-to-bar
DrawText("V"+CurrentBar, riseMarker, 0, Volume[0], tColor);

even tried the looong version:
DrawText("V"+CurrentBar, true, riseMarker, 0, Volume[0], yPixels, tColor, fp, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 10) ;

BTW, the varibles yPixelOffset in the doc says double but generates an error if not int.

yPixelOffset is suppose to be an integer. You cannot offset a decimal pixel value.

Check your Control Center logs for errors. Have you run into this? http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=3170

Ah! I do not know why I forget to check the log when changing an indicator. I had removed the check for CurrentBar < 1 because I added BarsRequired = 2 -- silly me thinking that covered it. Thank you.

BTW, you should update your online help text for DrawText() which says that yPixelOffset is a double. :-)
