Stop DrawTextFixed from overlapping

[itsnotme]

Hi,
I'm using DrawTextFixed but am having trouble stopping it from overlapping previously added text. The code below draws GBP over the USD text...I'd like to set an x offset to draw the GBP text to the left of the USD text.
How do I do this?

DrawTextFixed("USD", "USD", TextPosition.BottomRight,Color.Red, new Font("Arial", 10),Color.Aquamarine, Color.LightGray, 5);
DrawTextFixed("GBP", "GBP", TextPosition.BottomRight,Color.Blue, new Font("Arial", 10),Color.Aquamarine, Color.LightGray, 5);

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Aside from changing the message to "GBPUSD" I am unaware of any supported method to accomplish this. I am currently looking into other ways to achieve this. I will keep this thread open so that other members of the forum can suggest alternatives as well.

Hmm DrawText() might be able to do it, but the method description really doesn't help me in deciphering the various parameters...

I think you will need to use DrawString(string StringToShow, Font myFont,Brush myBrush,int x,int y);
and put it in public override void Plot(Graphics graphics, Rectangle bounds, double min, double max).
Like that you can control the exact position of the text. Hope this help.

For what you are describing, you will need to use a custom Plot().
