Pixels per sc.BaseGraphScaleIncrement

I have an ACSIL study that prints some text labels on multiple lines. When I change the scale of the main graph to a bigger number, the labels become squished because I use label offsets based on the TICK_SIZE (I tried Relative positioning also but it gets into some issues). Is there a way to determine how many pixels are in the chart from top of the scale to the bottom? In other words, I would like to know how many pixels are being used vertically for each sc.BaseGraphScaleIncrement value in the chart. I am using CONSTRANGE for the main graph and my study is set to Automatic scaling and it is drawn in the same region as the main graph. This post may be a duplicate because I messed up my previous request. Thanks. |

You can use the following as long as the study is set to sc.GraphRegion= 0: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_ACSIL_Members_Variables_And_Arrays.html#scStudyRegionTopCoordinate Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I am running v1109 and here is the code I have for the study: sc.GraphRegion = 0; Buffer.Format("TC = %d, BC = %d", sc.StudyRegionTopCoordinate, sc.StudyRegionTopCoordinate); sc.AddMessageToLog(Buffer, 0); And it prints the following in the Message Log: Chart: @NQ#C/NQM4 [R] 300 Volume #26 | Study: Test | TC = 0, BC = 0 | 2014-03-31 13:27:08 My price scale is set to Constant Range (http://screencast.com/t/KskYcIWAd). I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Thanks. |

Is this line of code outside of the sc.SetDefaults code block: Buffer.Format("TC = %d, BC = %d", sc.StudyRegionTopCoordinate, sc.StudyRegionTopCoordinate); sc.AddMessageToLog(Buffer, 0); Also you could gets zeros for the first call into the study function when first opening the Chartbook and the study is already on the chart.

It is outside the sc.SetDefaults block. Message Log shows a new message each time I press the Insert key on the keyboard which I think is reloading the chart. Here is the skeleton of the code: if(sc.SetDefaults)
{ sc.GraphName="Test"; sc.StudyDescription="Test"; //Manual looping sc.AutoLoop = 0; sc.GraphRegion = 0; return; } SCString Buffer; if (sc.UpdateStartIndex == 0) { sc.GraphRegion = 0; Buffer.Format("TC = %d, BC = %d", sc.StudyRegionTopCoordinate, sc.StudyRegionTopCoordinate); sc.AddMessageToLog(Buffer, 0); } |

It makes sense the top coordinate would be 0. However, notice your code, you are outputting the top coordinate twice. Not the bottom coordinate.

Well, that was totally silly of me. Thanks for debugging my code. Have a great day!
