External Image

[Behzadgof]

Does anyone know how to add an external image instead of using for example Shape.CIRCLE when drawing a signal?

Thanks

I am not positive but I don't think that it is possible to use external images
As an alternative you could use drawTextXxx() and a wingding-like font which provides you with two benefits. The first is that by changing the font size parameter you can change the size of the shape and the second is that you have access to a wide selection of shapes.

Thanks for your input. I did actually use what you mentioned, however I was looking for something more solid. Here is what I used:

String.fromCharCode(36) which draws a "$" on the chart.


drawTextRelative(0, low()-2, String.fromCharCode(36), Color.RGB(255,255,255), Color.RGB(0,0,0), Text.ONTOP, null, 4, "TagName")

Thanks

I hope you forgive the intrusion but, what character code map does:

String.fromCharCode(36)

come from?

Thanks

That is a method of the JavaScript String Object. If you search the EFS KnowledgeBase for fromCharCode you will find the explanation and examples
