Draw.Text() every bar at the botton of chart

[Rosario]

Hello

How can we use Draw.Text() with the y co-ordinate location at the botton of chart similar as bar statistics on Volumetric Bars?

Thanks

Hello Rosario,

Thanks for your post.

You would not be able to use Draw.Text() to achieve similar to the bar statistics with Volumetric bars because Draw.Text requires a price value to show the text, as the scale of the chart changes so would the text move up or down with the changes of the scale.

To accomplish your goal, you would need to use the more complex Drawing in OnRender() which uses the chart coordinates to place the drawings, the method OnCalculateMinMax can be used to control the scaling so that the bars do not get drawn in the text. You would use RenderTarget.DrawTextLayout for text.

If you are not familiar with these methods, please see the indicator SampleCustomRender in your Ninjatrader that will give you some idea of the coding required.
