    Move Chart Canvas via Ninjascript

    I have a strategy that takes a screenshot at various events. The problem is that I have some strategy data and indicators that take up space on the right hand side and they sometimes overlap which makes the screen hard to read. I am using the Draw.TextFixed for the text.
    Is there a way to move the chart canvas to a predefined that. I saw there is a Canvas get property but no set property. Is there any other way?

    Hello cutzpr,

    Thanks for your post.

    I may suggest changing ChartControl.Properties.BarMarginRight so it allows for enough distance for to fit your text so it does not overlap over bars and indicators. You may wish to store this value in a variable and set it back after you take your screenshot.

    You could consider the following as well:

    1. Store BarMarginRight in a variable
    2. Change BarMarginRight to fit your text
    3. Set a bool notifying that BarMarginRight was modified
    4. Call ForceRefresh();
    5. Check for your bool in OnRender() to trigger your screen capture, then reset your bool.

    ForceRefresh() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rcerefresh.htm

    OnRender() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...8/onrender.htm

    We look forward to assisting.

      If your not looking for something dynamic..
      and to always have specific right hand space...

      1.) Right Click on Canvas of Chart
      2.) Left Click Properties at bottom..
      3.) Adjust Right Side Margin to that desired..
