get the Text size used in the right scale

[swcooke]

How can I get (return) properties of the text used to draw the right scale? For instance, height, font, etc.

Hello swcooke

Thanks for the post.

The ChartControl object has many properties that can be accessed, including the Charts properties:

See the many properties available through ChartControl and the ChartPanel here:

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Thanks for that. I am trying to draw on the Right scale however, my drawing is going under the scale. I tried adding:

SetZOrder(int.MaxValue);

to my State.Historical block but that did not help. Can you give me a push in the right direction? I think I am missing something.

Hello swcooke,

Thank you for the reply.

This is unsupported, so I would be unable to assist further with this, but you can pop the clipping from the render target and add your own to get access to the entire chart. I have attached an example that my colleague NinjaTrader_Jim created.

RenderTarget.PopAxisAlignedClip();
RenderTarget.PushAxisAlignedClip(new SharpDX.RectangleF((float)0f, (float)0f, (float)startPoint.X, (float)chartControl.ActualHeight - (float)chartControl.AxisXHeight), RenderTarget.AntialiasMode);

Please let me know if you have any questions.
