NT8 drawtext/drawtextfixed

[tonynt]

Hello,

in the helpguide there is no example how to use Font for drawtext and drawtextfixed.

And with "...Brushes.Black,new Font ("Arial",8),Brushes.Black..." as I had done in NT7 I get error message about type and namespace, missing using-directive...

Thank you!
Tony

Hello tonynt,

Thanks for your post.

In the NT8 help guide for Draw.Text() if you review the Parameters table you will see the parameter for "font" shown as "A simple font" object. The "Simple Font" is red indicating it has a link to another page. If you click on the link it will take you to the page that shows how to specify the font as well as an example using Draw.Text.

In the NT8 help guide for Draw.textFixed(), if you review the "tip" it discusses using the chartcontrol font or SimpleFont and links to both. The example shows using the chartcontrol font.

Hello tonynt,

I meant to add the educational example we have for changing fonts: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...raw_object.htm
