Change color drawing tools

[xtremel]

Hi!

How can I change the color of the text, this is not working

                DrawingTools.Text textDrawing = Draw.Text(this, "Stop" + CurrentBar, "⚫", 0, Close[0]);
                textDrawing.TextBrush = Brushes.Yellow; // this is not working
                textDrawing.AreaBrush = Brushes.Transparent;
                textDrawing.Font = new SimpleFont("Arial", 7);​

Thanks!

Hello xtremel,

Thanks for your post.

To set the color of a text drawing object, you could use the Draw.Text() syntax that allows you to specify the Brush textBrush argument.

Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, string text, int barsAgo, double y, Brush textBrush)

Or, you could create a SimpleFont font object and then use that SimpleFont in the Draw.Text() syntax that allows you to pass in a SimpleFont argument and Brush textBrush argument.

The syntax that allows you to specify a SimpleFont could be seen below and in the help guide documentation linked below.

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)

See the help guide documentation below for more information and sample code.
