    Can I sub a .png or .svg inplace of text/unicode for Inidicator signal?

    I currently have a custom indicator and currently draw signal as such
    Code:
    Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, string text, int barsAgo, double y, bool isGlobal, string templateName)
    Is there a way to use a .png or .svg in the same manner?

    Hello Itachi,

    Thanks for your notes.

    It is not supported or documented to use a .png or .svg file with the Draw.Text() method.

    The Draw.Text() method is used to draw a string of text on the chart, not images such as a .png.

    You could consider custom rendering a bitmap on the chart using SharpDX in OnRender() instead of using Draw.Text().

    See the reference sample from the forum thread linked below demonstrating how this would be accomplished.

    SampleCustomBitmap: https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/...062#post814062

    See this help guide page for more information on Using SharpDX for Custom Chart Rendering: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._rendering.htm
