easylanguage switch from "Text_new" to "DrawingObjects"

January 24th, 2018, 05:20 PM

Hi traders,
I'm using legacy trend lines and i'm considering to switch to the "DrawingObjects".
i'm actually using the following text objects:

- ValueOne=Text_new(Date[x],Time[y],High[z]+Offset,"1");
- Value1=Text_SetColor(ValueOne,Color1);
- Value1=Text_Delete(Text_Getfirst(1));

how can i replace it with the new one?

thanks!

w4rri0r,

you will find indicators in the official Tradestation forum that demonstrate the different drawing objects. These might be a good start as they demonstrate how to create drawing objects etc.. You can also take a look at the methods and properties of the Trendline class in the Development Environment.

w4rri0r,

I am afraid I don't, but searching for topics with "trendline object" (without the "") in the title should bring them up.
