something to replace drawtext

[gamevoodoo]

I have made an indicator where the drawtext function is used. I noticed the text drawn by the indicator is movable with the mouse. Also, during a trading session, there will be a lot text drawn on the chart, it will slow the pc down significantly. I added a piece of code to erase text drawn in a certain bars ago, it did help to run this indicator more smoothly.

However, I would like to know whether it's possible to use another function to replace the drawtext, so that the text is not movable by mouse and it run faster thand drawtext.


Thank you.

Edit: Is there something like graphics.DrawString or graphics.Drawtext? If I use that to replace drawtext, will the study be less demanding on computer resource? How do I implement graphics.drawtext or graphics drawstring, is there coding example I can look into.

gamevoodoo, this can be done by overriding the default Plot() method - you can take a look into the CustomPlotSample we install per default.

The easiest way I know is using DrawTextFixed("your text here" ,TextPosition.TopRight );
