drawTextAbsolute

Happy Thanksgiving Day to all
What parameters must I uses to fix text at the bottom of the price pane (but above the indicator pane, of course).
I am asking about the correct use of:
drawTextAbsolute(xBar, yValue, Text, [FGColor], [BGColor], [Flags], [FontName], [FontSize], [TagName], [cx], [cy])

Thanks

In the Flags use Text.RELATIVETOBOTTOM

Alex - I must be doing something wrong: This is what I have:
drawTextAbsolute(01,vEMA,logString,vColor,(Color.R GB(0xF0, 0xF0, 0xF0)),
Text.RELATIVETOLEFT |Text.BOLD |Text.RELATIVETOBOTTOM,"Courier",10,"1" );

In the absence of getting it to work, I print it at the same level as the EMA line. Adding BOTTOM (as suggested), etc, causes it to disappear completely!

Hello George,

When you use Text.RELATIVETOLEFT, the first parameter, 01, is going to be the number of pixels from the left. When using Text.RELATIVETOBOTTOM, the second parameter, vEMA in your case, becomes the number of pixels from the bottom. You might want to use a fixed value like 15 instead of vEMA. Try the following:

drawTextAbsolute(01,15,logString,vColor,Color.RGB( 0xF0, 0xF0, 0xF0), Text.RELATIVETOLEFT|Text.BOLD|Text.RELATIVETOBOTTO M,"Courier",10,"1");
