drawing functions in non-price study

[smasters]

Hi,

Draw text functions work perfectly in my price study, but I cannot get text drawn (that I can see) in a non-price study. I am trying to draw text on a volume study and I am assuming that the y-axis coordinate of the draw text function would be the volume number (plus a little for spacing) and the x axis coordinate would be the relative bar number.

Any advice? The goal is to draw some text over particular volume bars.

Tx,

Try the attached efs as an example. Replace getValue("Volume") in Line 49 with your own text.
Hope this helps

Also, if the volume bars get in the way of the text you could anchor the text to the top of the indicator pane.
Replace Line 49 in the prior formula with the following to see the effect
drawTextRelative(0,0,"My Text",Color.blue,null,Text.BOLD|Text.RELATIVETOTOP ,"Arial",10,"Volume");

Thank You

Tx Alex....After looking at the example, I simply changed 'drawTextAbsolute' to 'drawTextRelative' and it works just fine. Although I do not see where that should make a difference.
