This pertains to both DRAWSTYLE_VALUE_ON_HIGH or DRAWSTYLE_VALUE_ON_LOW When adding a value say a number like 1234 using DRAWSTYLE_VALUE_ON_HIGH, there is a background behind the number being shown. And this background covers the chart bars if it is on the chart bars so they become not visible. Is there a way to make this background transparent, while the number (foreground) remains on top? I understand you can display under the price graph, but this isn't what I want to do. I want the background to be under price graph, but the number (foreground) to be above price graph. Thanks in advance. |

We can add a new ACSIL draw style which will not have an opaque background. But this can only be used from ACSIL using custom programming.

Yes, that would be great! Because the subgraph drawing is much more efficient than tool drawing. Could you also add a pixel offset for the new draw style from the High and Low? Thank you very much! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-03-16 12:57:39

The pixel offset you will control. The actual Vertical axis value is going to be programmatically controllable.

I see it, must be DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_CUSTOM_VALUE_AT_Y?

Sierra, have not heard from you in many days. There seems to be a problem if the value is more than 8 digits, it starts to show garbage numbers Please make a vertical pixel offset for DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_CUSTOM_VALUE_AT_Y. I need to stack labels and keep them together if user scales the chart with the mouse. Can you enable font settings for size and bold? Also, when setting DrawZeros = 1 chart gets distorted. I am unable to draw zeroes Date Time Of Last Edit: 2018-03-22 16:03:22

You did not answer the main question. What about a vertical pixel offset from Y?

Is it really that hard to be able to specify a pixel offset after the value is placed at Y? This would be a huge performance increase on my indicators. Using s_UseTool is such poor performance when I have thousands of labels. That is why I would like to switch to drawing with subgraph. I achieve something equivalent to a pixel offset in s_UseTool when adding newline "\n" to the string, and that has been working, but the performance is bad and keeps getting worse the more chart drawings exist on the chart.
