Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to have values from my drawing tool print in the databox? If so I would appreciate if you can point me to an example. Thanks.

Hello Don22Trader1,

Thank you for your post.

The data box only displays bar and indicator/plot values. You could set DisplayInDataBox to true in State.SetDefaults to display plot information in the data box:

Then, you would need to call AddPlot() and assign the desired drawing tool values to plots to have the values displayed:

If you want the added plots to be a transparent color, then you would also need to ensure that ShowTransparentPlotsInDataBox is set to true:
