transparent text boxes

[Foz]

another quick question: When I draw text on my chart using drawTextAbsolute I can see my price bars and other chart objects through the text box (as if they are being draw on top of my text). Is there a way to make the text and the box colored in by the background color of the text be the top layer and not be transparent?

You can force text to be drawn over other text/line objects by using the Text.ONTOP flag. However, price bars will always be draw over any text/lines generated by an EFS script.

Thanks, Chris. That's too bad you can't draw on top of the price bars also.

Here's a tip for everyone to make any buttons or text you draw on your charts look better: Put a space before and after the text you are drawing and it won't look so squished inside the frame or colored text box. For example, draw the text " "+variableName+" " instead of just variableName.
