Text labels built into drawing tools - ie: line and rectangle tools

[FOMOzombie]

Basic Feature request:
optional text labels for some drawing tools (ie: rectangle, line, and ray tools). users can add via properties to. options for text formatting, font, size, color. So the text would render with the drawing tool, when it is drawn. ie: draw a rectangle, and add a text label to it that says "daily range"

Hello FOMOzombie,

You can find a modified line drawing tool that draws text on the public user app share, i have provided a link below.

thanks! yeah I'm using that one, and its great. But I'd really like this same functionality for the rectangle drawing tool. I was trying to code it on my own with help from chat gpt, but no luck getting it to compile.

Hello FOMOzombie,

I have added your vote for request SFT-253 to support having labels on the drawing tools. While I cannot suggest using chatgpt for NinjaScript you can look at how the labeled line indicator was made, that would be the same process for other tools as well. The placement of the text would be the main part you would have to work out depending on how you wanted each object to display labels.

Hello,

I would also like to vote for this as well. In addition, I'm also looking for a way to add a horizontally line in the middle (50% range) of the rectangle or it is automatically drawn when creating rectangle (see attachment) with the text label.

Hello DonnieTrader,

I will add your vote.

To draw a horizontal line at the 50% range of a rectangle would require using some math to figure out what price that would be and then drawing a line at that price. To have that happen automatically you would need to create a script that draws a rectangle and line or for this to be automatic with a drawing object would require making a custom drawing object.
