DrawText in the middle of the chart window

[jmflukeiii]

Is there a way to base DrawText x coordinate not on a number of bars back, but just on the actual visible space, for example, have it always centered in the window, regardless of zoom level. The pivot indicator is an example - the text is always in the same x location as you move the chart back in time.

Or how can I drawtext in the right margin? Say I have a right side margin of 25, and I'd like to place the text in there? Is there a way to do that? Is there a way to extend a plot line into there as well?

Thank you

jmflukeiii, that would be unfortunately not possible with our supported draw methods - the Pivot indicator achieves by accessing the unsupported ChartControl methods, you could review it's code for hints in this area.

Another way is using simply DrawTextFixed, that would offer you 5 predefined locations for your Text object :

TextPosition.BottomLeft

TextPosition.BottomRight

TextPosition.Center

TextPosition.TopLeft

TextPosition.TopRight

I've been trying to decipher that indicator's code, but I think its a bit beyond my grasp.

The problem, I believe, with the fixed text is an inability to control the y-location. So for example, centered is great, but I'm trying to label lines that the indicator is drawing and the fixed text won't be next to them.

Thank your for suggestion.

That's correct, it's really a fixed position by x and y scale means. A line label option is on our suggestion list for future consideration to simplify work in this area.
