ChartObjects.DrawText and placement with X and Y coordinates.
10 Apr 2013, 01:46
Hi,
I'm tring to place a certain ChartObjects.DrawText on a specific place on the chart with X and Y coordinates.
Is this possible? It feels like I'm limited at the moment to chose either from Top, Bottom, Center for the placement.
My code.
ChartObjects.DrawText("Account Balance :", "Account Balance : " + balanceprocent, StaticPosition.Center, Colors.DimGray);
Thanks..

Hi,
What I'm after is just to be able to place a variable on a specific place on the charts, not including any other info then to show the specific variable.
For example I want to place the "balanceprocent" variable to be shown on the chart on Y 20 and X 20 coordinates. A matter of placing it on the right place for easy viewing.
A piece of code. Please.
Thanks..

At the moment window coordinates are not supported. It may be implemented in the future.
Only time (X) - price(Y) and Static Positions.
It seems that StaticPosition.TopLeft should serve your purpose of having the balance displayed at a visible place on the chart.

Hi,
thanks for your reply. I've already used up all the StaticPosition placements on the chart and manage to use a space variable to cramp in more info on TopLeft, TopRight, Center and BottomLeft and Right positions. An upgrade on the StaticPosition with X and Y is highly needed for layout pruposes. Hope it will come in the future.

Yes, it is possible to define the X-Y coordinates in the DrawText method.
Please see the syntax in the API Reference: DrawText.
