Draw.TextFixed by X and Y

May 11th, 2020, 05:53 AM

I am trying to draw.textfixed, or (draw.text) but the x, and y are by bars, and price.

How do I make it so that I can draw.text say right smack in the middle of the chart using pixel coordinates that does not move? how would I give it that location?

You would need to use Drawing Object "TextFixed" which would look like this:

Code

Draw.TextFixed(this, "tag", "Text to draw", TextPosition.Center);

You need to create a custom plot, overriding the OnRender() section.

Some help is available here:

Using TextFixed you can only plot in 5 locations ie the corners or the middle

Alternative is to use Draw.Text which gives full control
