Draw.Rectangle help with specific dimensions?

[MatthewLesko]

I'm testing with NinjaScript to Draw.Rectangle because I need to set it at a specific dimension/placement on the chart and add text to it is this possible? I only see examples for sizing it according to bar sizes so not sure how I can get around that

Hello MatthewLesko,

The drawing objects are going to be locked to using bars ago/times and prices. To render a rectangle using specific dimensions or coordinates you would need to use OnRender.

The indicator sample SampleCustomRender which comes with the platform demonstrates drawing on the chart based on X/Y coordinates.

You can read about OnRender in the following links:
