    draw text using chartcontrol.properties

    Hi, I'm trying to use chart font size property for my indicator text like this:

    Draw.Text(this, @"Text 1 " + Convert.ToString(CurrentBars[0]), "my text", 0, Low[0]-5*TickSize,ChartControl.Properties.ChartText );

    but it doesn't adjust size to match, what am I missing?

    Thanks!

    Hello Sparkyboy,

    The ChartText is a brush and not a font, To set any values for the text font you need to use one of the overloads that has SimpleFont:

    Code:
    Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, string text, int barsAgo, double y, int yPixelOffset, Brush textBrush, SimpleFont font, TextAlignment alignment, Brush outlineBrush, Brush areaBrush, int areaOpacity)
    Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, string text, DateTime time, double y, int yPixelOffset, Brush textBrush, SimpleFont font, TextAlignment alignment, Brush outlineBrush, Brush areaBrush, int areaOpacity)​

    Code:
    if(CurrentBar < 2) return;
    Draw.Text(this, "MyText", true, "Some Text", 2, Close[2] - 5 * TickSize, 0, ChartControl.Properties.ChartText, ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 1);
