Put text on vertical line indicator

[tvaughan4]

I picked up this indicator from the ecosystem, attached. It very simply plots a vertical line a specific time every day, i.e. market open, etc... Is there a way to just add in some text onto the line to label it on the chart? I would like to use it for some other recurring events as well, and a text label would be nice.

Thanks

Hello tvaughan4,

There are a couple of ways to draw text.

For drawing over a bar using the Text drawing tool that would normally be selected from the drawing tools menu, is done with Draw.Text().

Below is a link to the help guide with an example.

It would also be possible to custom render text any way you would like with SharpDX in OnRender(). This would be more advanced but would give you more control.

Below is a link to the Rollover indications indicator that has a great example of a vertical line and text rendered on the chart with SharpDX.
