Labels

[peterkl]

Hi Guys,

Do you know how to add a label on the left top corner of the chart to this part of the formula???
For example if the computer shows me signal to sell, I would like to
have additional label on top of the screen telling me "S" (not on the chart itself) something like drawLabel...

Tnx Peter

if (nSignal < 0 && Strategy.isLong() == true) {
Strategy.doShort("ReversSHORT", Strategy.CLOSE,Strategy.THISBAR);
drawTextRelative(3, close(), "S", Color.black, Color.white, Text.FRAME | Text.LEFT | Text.BOLD, null, 20);
Alert.playSound("C:\Program Files\eSignal\Sounds\SNZD.wav");

AFAIK the only thing that can do something outside of the chart is the Triggered Alert List through a pop-up window.
Alert.addToList(getSymbol()+" "+getInterval(),"S",Color.black,Color.red);

Peter,

I believe this will work (edit - still on the chart though - sorry)

drawTextPixel(10, 10, ("Your Note Here"),  Color.red, null, Text.RELATIVETOLEFT | Text.RELATIVETOTOP|Text.FRAME, "Comic Sans MS", 18,"FNF"); 

here is the format for the different fields of this drawing function

drawTextPixel(xBar, yValue, Text, [FGColor], [BGColor], [Flags], [FontName], [FontSize], [TagName], [cx], [cy])

This function is used to draw text on the chart at precise pixel locations. It is used in conjunction with the getTextHeight() and getTextWidth() functions. 


·    xBar:        Relative position where text should appear.
·    yValue:        y-axis value where text should appear
·    Text:        The text that should be displayed
·    FGColor:        Optional. If not provided, pass null. Foreground color of the text.
·    BGColor:        Optional. if not provided, pass null. Background color of the text
·    Flags:        Text Flags (these can be ORd together). Pass null if not using flags.
·    FontName:        Optional. If not provided, pass null. Otherwise, pass a font name (e.g, "Courier" or "Arial").
·    FontSize:        Optional. If not provided, pass null. Otherwise, pass the font size to use (e.g., 11 or 15 or 8, etc.)
·    TagName:        A unique identifier for this text object. 
·    cx:            Optional. Pixel spacing control.
·    cy:            Optional. Pixel spacing control.
