DrawText Panel2

[tonynt]

Hello,

I want to draw from an indicator a text in panel 2 and whatever I modify in the syntax (..."true"/"false" or "y"/0/0.20.5...) it always plots at the very low (screenshot attached) and the number is cut at bottom. What do I have to change please so that the number is drawn higher in panel 2, eg at y-value 0.5 to see the number clearly?

Now I have: Draw.Text(this, "vstrong2", false, "2", 0, 0.5, 0, Brushes. Cyan,new SimpleFont ("Arial",34), TextAlignment.Center, null,Brushes.Transparent,50);

Thank you!

Hello tonynt,

From the syntax provided you would need to use a Price that is within the scale. The draw.Text takes a Price as its Value parameter.

An example would be if you have the indicator applied to panel 2 and the scale has a range of 0 to 10 and you have used 0.5 as the price then it would be at the bottom of the panel. If you need it higher you need to increase the price to a price that is more in the middle of the scale like 5.

Please let me know if i may be of further assistance.

Hello,

thank you for your reply. Sorry that I cut the screenshot so that the y-axis was not visible. Here is a screenshot showing where 0.5 is. And I have in the Code the 0.5 but its plotting below.

And have changed it now to "Draw.Text(this, "vstrong1", true, "1", 0, 1.2, 0, Brushes. Cyan,...." but see the attached screenshot please. Its plotted again at the low and cut the number.

Thank you!

Hello tonynt,

The did you verify the object has that value in the drawing objects properties after making that change? The scale you have shown would require a value of 1 to be in the middle.

You can also try using AutoScale to see where the scale adjusts to, that would give a better idea of what the problem is.

I have attached a script that uses the code you provided, it works for me.


Please let me know if i may be of further assistance.

Hello,

I didnt know I have to add this override void... I thought I have to apply simply the numbers I see on y-axis.

Works now.

Thank you!

Hello tonynt,

You don't need to add that, its just to make a scale similar to what you had shown for the purpose of demonstration. the object should work the same either way based on the plotted values which make the scale that value.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
