How to get coordinates of the subwindow and not the whole chart

[LuxSpuzy]

I want to draw a "table" in an indicator subwindow, but my coordinates are based on the main chart and not the subwindow chart

protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
        {

            if (Bars == null || ChartControl == null)
                return;        

              base.OnRender(chartControl, chartScale);

            // Get the render target for the chart
            //SharpDX.Direct2D1.RenderTarget RenderTarget = chartControl.CreateRenderTarget();

            // Set the font size and style for the table
            RenderTarget.AntialiasMode = SharpDX.Direct2D1.AntialiasMode.PerPrimitive;
            RenderTarget.TextAntialiasMode = SharpDX.Direct2D1.TextAntialiasMode.Aliased;
            SharpDX.DirectWrite.Factory dwFactory = new SharpDX.DirectWrite.Factory();
            TextFormat textFormat = new TextFormat(dwFactory, "Arial", 8f);

            // Set the cell width and height for the table
            float cellWidth = 30f;
            float cellHeight = 10f;

            // Set the starting position for the table
            float x = 10f;
            float y = 10f;
            // Draw the table header
            RenderTarget.DrawText("Column 1", textFormat, new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), Brushes.Red.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget), DrawTextOptions.NoSnap, MeasuringMode.GdiClassic);
            x += cellWidth;
            RenderTarget.DrawText("Column 2", textFormat, new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), Brushes.Red.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget), DrawTextOptions.NoSnap, MeasuringMode.GdiClassic);
            x += cellWidth;
            RenderTarget.DrawText("Column 3", textFormat, new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), Brushes.Red.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget), DrawTextOptions.NoSnap, MeasuringMode.GdiClassic);
            x += cellWidth;
            RenderTarget.DrawText("Column 4", textFormat, new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), Brushes.Red.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget), DrawTextOptions.NoSnap, MeasuringMode.GdiClassic);
            x += cellWidth;
            RenderTarget.DrawText("Column 5", textFormat, new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), Brushes.Red.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget), DrawTextOptions.NoSnap, MeasuringMode.GdiClassic);
            y += cellHeight;

            // Draw the table rows
            SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush myBrush = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.SolidColorBrush(RenderTarget, new Color4(0.9f, 0.9f, 0.9f, 1.0f)); // light gray
            for (int i = 1; i <= 21; i++)
            {
                x = 10f;
                RenderTarget.FillRectangle(new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), myBrush);
                RenderTarget.DrawText("R" + i.ToString() + "C1", textFormat, new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), Brushes.Red.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget), DrawTextOptions.NoSnap, MeasuringMode.GdiClassic);
                x += cellWidth;
                RenderTarget.DrawText("R" + i.ToString() + "C2", textFormat, new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), Brushes.Red.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget), DrawTextOptions.NoSnap, MeasuringMode.GdiClassic);
                x += cellWidth;
                RenderTarget.DrawText("R" + i.ToString() + "C3", textFormat, new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), Brushes.Red.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget), DrawTextOptions.NoSnap, MeasuringMode.GdiClassic);
                x += cellWidth;
                RenderTarget.DrawText("R" + i.ToString() + "C4", textFormat, new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), Brushes.Red.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget), DrawTextOptions.NoSnap, MeasuringMode.GdiClassic);
                x += cellWidth;
                RenderTarget.DrawText("R" + i.ToString() + "C5", textFormat, new RectangleF(x, y, cellWidth, cellHeight), Brushes.Red.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget), DrawTextOptions.NoSnap, MeasuringMode.GdiClassic);
                y += cellHeight;
            }
            myBrush.Dispose();

            // Dispose of resources
            textFormat.Dispose();
            dwFactory.Dispose();
            //RenderTarget.Dispose();
        }​

this is my WIP code that I have been playing with

but it draws the table in the top left of the whole chart, so I have to pull my subwindow up in order to see the table, I want the table to be fixed to the subwindow, so if I increase the size of the subwindow, it will follow the subwindow

of course by subwindow I mean IsOverlay=false;

Hello LuxSpuzy,

Your indicator would need to be in that sub panel for OnRender and the methods to get or set values in that sub panel. The OnRender override refers to the panel where the script is applied and the scale being used in the indicators settings.

The X and Y you are using are not based on the sub panel, you are just using 10 for the x and y. To know the panels bounds and make actual x/y values you need to reference the indicators ChartPanel property: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...chartpanel.htm

ChartPanel.X and ChartPanel.Y would be needed to find the panels top left, to find the actual width or height of the panel you would need to add the W and H properties to the X and Y values.
