Customization drawing tool “HorizontalRay Label”

[flomeunier]

Hello everyone,
I will need your help to customize the horizontal ray drawing tool.
I want to be able to add to the code the change in color and font size of the label and the price tag independently.

Hello flomeunier,

I'm note quite sure what you are meaning.

The label is the price tag..

If you want the text color different than the line color, add an addition public Stroke property (or Brush and Int property) within the scope of the class (and set a default in State.SetDefaults of OnStateChange()).

You will also need to create a TextFormat() object to set the FontSize.

SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextFormat newTextFormat = new SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextFormat(Core.Globals.Direct WriteFactory, textFormat.FontFamilyName, textFormat.FontWeight, textFormat.FontStyle, NewStrokeName.Width);

Supply this instead of textFormat and NewStrokeName.BrushDX to the RenderTarget.DrawTextLayout() call.

Hello,
Thank you for your response.
In this indicator there is the display of the price label and in addition I can add a personalized label (text) to the horizontal ray. So I want to be able to change the color and font size of the price label and label text

Hello flomeunier,

Sure you can render your own text as a label with your own RenderTarget.DrawTextLayout() call.

The direction with using a new stroke (or int and brush) would still apply.

Thanks for your answer but I can't do that

Hello everyone,

I am coming back to you following my publication in which I sought to make the display of the price label optional and to be able to independently modify the color and writing size of the price label and the text label.
So I managed to make these modifications, so you will find attached to this comment the drawing tools with the modifications, and it works.
I hope it can be useful.

Hello flomeunier
Thanks for your excellent tool.
I wanted to ask you if in this version, it was possible to make the adjustments shown in the images.

[flomeunier]

Hello ingresoscontalento I'm sorry but the version I shared with you contains errors, particularly when saving templates.
Here is an updated version that works perfectly.
