Convert Double int for chart text display.

[johnMoss]

I'm sure there's a library item on this, so confession I'm cheating for time bringing this to the forum.

I played around with it & got nowhere (dunce cap)

I have a bar calculation which requires the use of doubles. All good to go there. I want this value displayed on the chart, and of course directly applying doubles to this is a crap shoot of 0 to 12 decimal points also displayed.. messy...

Objective is to convert the resultant double value into an integer so that it displays without the decimals; hence for example derived value of 54.1836574632 displays on chart as a simple 54.

Thanx

Hello johnMoss,

If what you are doing is drawing a string on the chart from your double you can use the C# ToString method to format the number. You can see some examples in the following public link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/do...ramework-4.8.1

string myString = myDouble.ToString();

If you want to actually convert the number to an int and not just trim the remainder you can cast it to an int:

int myInt = (int)myDoubleVariable;

This is what I have right now:

Draw.Text(this, CurrentBar.ToString(), true, percent.ToString(), 0, Low[0] - (4 * TickSize), 0 , _textColorDefinedbyUser, myFont, TextAlignment.Justify, null, null, 1);

I gather I need to do something with the one of the nulls or do I need to venture upstairs with

public string ToString (string format, IFormatProvider provider);

Hello johnMoss,

if the variable percent is what you want to format you almost have what you need, it would be:

percent.ToString("N0")
