DrawText PC ressources

[tonynt]

Hello,

for showing the result of a calculation I have in the code only
...
str8+="R: " + priceratio;
...
Draw.TextFixed(this,"str8",str8,TextPosition.TopLe ft);

but in NS-utyMonitor it shows the highest number among all indicators for "ChartObject Fixedtext".

I have no advanced syntax with fonts, brushes, fontsize, backcolor, margin.... but it shows the high number in uty-monitor.

Why does this need more pc ressources than a "normal" indicator? Is there a way to reduce this?

Thank you!
Tony

Hello tonynt,

Thanks for your post.

If you are using Draw.TextFixed() in multiple instances, the monitor would put all of those together, so being at the top may not be meaningful, nor would the time. Another factor would be the calculate mode of the script where the draw.TextFixed() methods are used. I would not be concerned with this.

With reference to the help guide

When using it as debugging aid, it's recommended to focus on the top resource using NinjaScript's, while absolute total time is negligible.

Also it's important to understand that a resource heavy NinjaScript could be meaning:

a) the NinjaScript may not be coded as efficiently as possible and would be worthwhile to review if everything has been done to achieve optimal performance

b) it could be doing intense / steady calculations by design and a higher than average resource use therefore could likely not be avoided.

Hello Paul,

thank you for your reply. I have modified the sample with the buttons and using it in my scripts. Are these buttons also included in the Draw.TextFixed()?

Thank you!

Hello tonynt,

Thanks for your post.

Are you having specific performance problems?

Unless the buttons are created with Draw.TextFixed, i would not think so.

Hello PaulH,

thank you for your reply. I have frozen problems, no performance when frozen. So I try to remove what needs a lot of pc ressources.

Thank you!
