Drawtext position

[brucelevy]

I would like to put multiple draw text fields in the top left corner:


For example I am using this for one of my indicators, but I would like to stack more than one in the top left corner, is this possible?
{
DrawTextFixed("tag1", "- Delta",TextPosition.TopLeft, Color.Black, ChartControl.Font, Color.Gray, Color.Red, areaOpacity);
}

Ok so apparently there was another thread on this and I figured it out, thanks.

Hello bruce,

Thank you for the update. Please let us know if we may be of assistance anytime.

Is there a way to add a background box so that the text can be seen? I've tried using different color backgrounds for the text field but sometimes they overlap and block out the one under. I'm looking to add a layer under the entire area, possibly with some opacity option.

Hello brucelevy,

Thank you for writing in. You could use a single text and set the background for it. For example:

DrawTextFixed("tag1", "- Delta\r\nUptrend\r\nConsolidation", TextPosition.TopLeft, Color.Black, ChartControl.Font, Color.Gray, Color.Red, 8);

Typing "\r\n" creates a new line in a string of text. I have attached an image of what this looks like.

Please let me know if this does not resolve the issue or if I may be of further assistance.
