Hello SierraChart Team,

When using higher definition settings on screens which are now becoming common, text associated with SierraChart drawings are not legible.
Please see the text on the vertical line in the top right of the attached chart.

There probably needs to be a way for the user to modify the text font and size, similar to how the user can modify the text font and size of all the other settings within the platform.

I think this will become more and more of a common problem, as higher definition 4K, 5K, 6K, 8K screens are becoming common-place.

Would you consider adding text formatting capabilities to the tools such as Vertical, Horizontal Lines, Rays, Fibos, etc. ?

Thank you,

Mike T

This has always existed. It would make no sense for there not to be a setting. Refer to:
