Draw a Descriptive Label for Each Row of Dots in an Indicator Panel

[nuno-online 10]

hello

With Easylanguage, I would like to draw a descriptive label for each row of dots in an indicator panel.

It is not an issue drawing the text to the right of the plot using DrawText but there is apparently no parameter to draw it to the left of the row (so that the label is always visible even if I scroll the price chart to the left).

 

Any good example out there or some sample code that could help me out?

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Just plot the text to the bar before the one you are currently plotting it to. Then it will be to the left.

 

There is also something more complicated you can do to "pad" text to reposition it - let me know if you would like an example of this.

Please, can you send me an example to "pad" text to reposition it?

Hi,

 

Sorry - I must have missed your original request for this . . . I had a look and, although it is possible to pad text (in fact, you can just do it by sticking " " in front of the text that you want), essentially it is always going to left-justify against the bar to which it is assigned. In other words, you're probaby not going to get anything better than what you've already got because the 'space' into which you want to justify the text doesn't exist (it's a bit like you're wanting to start writing off beyond the left edge of a piece of paper).

 

I hope that makes sense and relates to your question?

 

With these sorts of issues and TS I find it is always best to remember that functionality is more important than appearance.
