All Prices Have a Text.FRAME in Black

[Diane P]

Hello,
Coincidental with downloading 8.0, whenever I do a formatPriceNumber on my charts, regardless of the study, all the prices automatically have a black frame. Since I never use a frame in my formats, I'm curious as to why this is happening. Can you help, please? Thank You.

I am not seeing a black frame when using formatPriceNumber().
In the image enclosed below you can see the output of the following script which includes formatPriceNumber().

function preMain(){
    setPriceStudy(true)
    setShowCursorLabel(false)
}

function main(){
    var vPrice = formatPriceNumber(close(0))
    drawTextRelative(2, close(0), vPrice, Color.blue, null, Text.VCENTER, "Arial", 12, "test");
} 

If this is not what you are referring to then you may want to post a sample script that illustrates the problem.

Hi Alex,
Thank you for your response. I'm sending you one of the studies I use. Hopefully, it will show you what I'm referring to.

Sorry. I'll try again.

The black frame is not related to formatPriceNumber() or version 8.0. In fact it displays also in version 7.9.1 and/or when formatPriceNumber() is removed.
The black frame is instead caused by an incorrect use of the parameters in the drawTextRelative() function in lines 301 and 302. For example line 302 is

drawTextRelative(x1b, y1b, formatPriceNumber(y1b), Color.red, Text.CENTER, null, "Arial", 16, cntr); 

whereas it should be

drawTextRelative(x1b, y1b, formatPriceNumber(y1b), Color.red, null, Text.CENTER, "Arial", 16, cntr); 

Notice the position of null is different and is now assigned to the background color parameter

Thanks so much, Alex. I have made the correction in all my studies. I knew it had to be "operator error". It's amazing how one little detail can make such a difference. You are, indeed, a SUPER MODERATOR. Have a great day!
