DrawTextFixed offset

[monpere]

DrawTextFixed overwrites the NT copyright on the BottomLeft position. I would also like to have more then one indicator write to BottomLeft for example. Each indicator issuing DrawTextFixed to the BottomLeft would overwrite each other. How about adding a y-pixel offset to DrawTextFixed, so that you can displace the text written by a number of pixels vertically? That way you can actually write multiple lines in any position by offseting each line by a few pixels vertically.

Hi monpere,

Using the DrawText() instead will offer you a little more flexibility:

Aside from that, this would involve some unsupported materials, perhaps look at how the Plot method is overridden in the TickCounter indicator.

I do use the DrawText(), and Plot() override to write text anywhere on the chart, but that requires much code to position the text precisely. For your users who are not advanced programmers, a simple y-pixel offset in DrawTextFixed() would give them more flexibility without needing to know how to do any advanced coding.

Hi monpere,

Agreed, thank you for the suggestion, I will forward this to our development team for future consideration.
