How to define point X

[emuns]

Hello,

I need to place text to the top edge of the chart, towards the end of each session. Defining point Y is easy, but how can I define point X in this case? (Of course I´m referring to OnRender).

Thank you

Hello emuns,

You can use the ChartPanel object to determine the panel coordinates. If you mean the top right that would be the

ChartPanel.X + ChartPanel.W - YourTextWidth

Hello Jesse,

OK, but than there will be only one text.
Let´s say I have 30min chart. I see three sessions in the range shown on the chart. Thus, I would like to see three texts, each at the end of its respective session. Not one text in the top right corner!

Hello emuns,

If you wanted to pin the text to specific dates you would need to get the dates from the series to know when to render it. You can see an example of looping over the currently visible bars and getting data from a plot using the Values collection and GetValueAt beow. You could use the Time series if you wanted to see if a specific time is within the currently rendered bars. If the bar in question is within the loop you could render text for that during that loop.
