printing text on panel

[pman777]

hello, I've created an indicator that runs on a lower panel ... i want to print some information on the lower right section of that panel. In the past I've used the DrawTextFixed command however that seems to only print on the main panel. Anyway to print on a lower panel? thanks

Hello pman777,
Please make sure to set DrawOnPricePanel to false in the Initialize section of the code to draw any draw object on the indicator pane. Please refer to our help guide to know more about it.

thank you Joydeep ... is there a way to print on the main panel and the lower panel from the same indicator?

Hello pman777,
You can toggle DrawOnPricePanel to true and false in the OnBarUpdate section to do it.

if (conditions)
{
  DrawOnPricePanel = true;
  DrawTextFixed(....);
}

if (conditions)
{
  DrawOnPricePanel = false;
  DrawTextFixed(....);
}

However please note this is not officially supported.
