DrawTextRelative question

[jethro87]

I modified an Alexis Pivot Point All 3 efs because after doing a search of the board, I couldn't find exactly what I wanted. I wanted the PP value, along with some text, at the end of the PP line.

I am not able to insert an image. [IMG] code is set to off. As the saying goes, a picture is worth words, so I will leave the image explanations.

The first image is a chart with auto scale on. I used a +10 and a -10, see code below, to put the text in this position. I'll try to explain the +10 and -10 values with the other images.

The second image is with the price value of the chart compressed. I get this same result with just time value compressed and that is the reason for the +10 and -10 in the coding. I needed to exaggerate the example here.

The third image is more of what I would like to have.
Is there a way to make the text a constant relative amount to the PP value?
Thank you.


Here is my code.

drawTextRelative(1, vS2 + 10, vSymbol, Color.RGB(128,128,255), null, Text.BOLD|Text.VCENTER, "Arial", 8, "text5a");
drawTextRelative(1, vS2, formatPriceNumber(vS2), Color.RGB(128,128,255), null, Text.BOLD|Text.VCENTER, "Arial", 8, "text5");
drawTextRelative(1, vS2 - 10, "S2", Color.RGB(128,128,255), null, Text.BOLD|Text.VCENTER, "Arial", 8, "text5b");

Zipped images to my post

I was not able to delete my post when I realized I could not insert an image. I was not able to make an attachment when I tried to edit my post.

So here is the zip to my post.

From what I saw you were using the wrong links.
Go to the folder in FileShare where you are storing the images and click the Show URLs button. Then copy the URL of the image and insert that in the body of your message enclosing it with the [ IMG ] [ /IMG ] tags

Ok Alexis. Will try that.




Aaahaa.
Thanks Alexis for your posting help.

At this time I don't think there is a way to do that.
If instead of using three lines of text you used only two then it would be easy to accomplish that (see enclosed example)
Alex

drawTextRelative(1, vS2, "S2   "+vSymbol, Color.RGB(128,128,255), null, Text.BOLD|Text.BOTTOM, "Arial", 8, "text5a");
drawTextRelative(1, vS2, formatPriceNumber(vS2), Color.RGB(128,128,255), null, Text.BOLD|Text.TOP, "Arial", 8, "text5b");

Yes.

I like your suggestion very much.
This addresses the situation nicely.

Thanks again Alexis.
