Drawing Labels in Y Scale

[swcooke]

Chelsea,

I just tested the workaround you gave in post#10 above. I am baffled as to how/why this works? Why does this work to suppress drawing the line? I noticed when I comment out the OnRender block entirely, it does not work and the line is drawn. Can you explain that? I am confused as to what is actually happening here to make this work.

Hello swcooke,

Overriding OnRender() blocks the base.OnRender() so nothing is rendered.

Is it possible to somehow use this to draw the label but still be able to use OnRender to draw?

Hello swcooke,

It would not be possible to have the same indicator render anything if OnRender() is overriden without the base.OnRender() being called.

I recommend you use a separate indicator for other things you want rendered.

Sorry, can you give an example of how to do that? Would I just create a partial class as an AddOn and put this override into that? I need a way that makes it easy to distribute the Indicator as one Indicator without the user knowing this is two different indicators. So far, the only way I have found to do that is by putting a partial class in the AddOn folder.

Hello swcooke,

I'm not suggesting anything with partial classes.

I'm suggesting that you create a new indicator in the NinjaScript Editor. In the Explorer pane on the right, right-click the Indicators folder > select New Indicator > click OK.

In this new indicator add the logic to draw the other items. (You could even call the first indicator to get a plot value from it if you wanted)

I just want to see the label. Setting BarBrush = Brushes.Transparent just changes the color of the brush used in the main pane.

Even I am looking for the same mate, let me know once you find.

Hello pinknemo13,

It is possible to custom render text if you wanted to do this in the OnRender() override and then not call base.OnRender() so that the chart objects from the script are not rendered.

Below is a link to an example of rendering text.
