Drawing error on Indicator pane background

[swcooke]

I want to draw a white rectangle over my whole indicator pane to cover the values. Then I'd like to display some text on that rectangle. I have the Draw.Text function working fine but I don't understand how to give the 4 coordinates of the indicator pane to Draw.Rectangle. Can you provide an example of the easiest way to write the Draw.Rectangle function that would cover the Indicator pane with a white rectangle?

Hello swcooke,

Thank you for your post.

This would be best accomplished with custom rendering rather than Draw.Rectangle.

I've attached a modified version of the built-in SampleCustomRender indicator that shows rendering custom text as well as drawing a white rectangle in the indicator pane. You should be able to modify this code to fit your indicator.

Here's a link to our help guide about custom rendering for NinjaTrader 8 using SharpDX:
