Draw Text or Rectangle from Bar Type

[barbaros]

Is there a way to draw text or rectangle in a custom bar type? It seems like the drawing capability is not available in the namespace.

Hello barbaros,

Thank you for your post.

It does not make sense to draw from a BarsType script because drawings, such as Draw.Text() or Draw.Rectangle(), require anchors to times or barsAgo indexes. Drawing tools can be drawn from indicators or strategies, so it would make sense to use the custom BarsType as an input series for an indicator or strategy that then draws objects. For more information about the methods and properties available in a BarsType script, please see the following help guide section:

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Sounds good. It seems like the functionality used in Volumetric bars is not available to 3rd party developers.
