V10.3 Does Not Support Binary

[davidfan]

v10.3 has been found not to support binary characters such as symbols.
The embedded binary characters in efs will turn to garbled when executed in charts.
Please check it out.
While v10.2.1 is running O.K..

Dave,

This is a know issue with the eSignal devleopers and should be corrected in an upcoming release.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Hello Dave,

By passing up the Unicode escape sequence in the draw Text functions you can add the special characters to the chart.
[list=1][*]Open the Window Character Map (Start -->Accessories-->System Tools-->Character Maps) [*]Select the special character and get the character code (Character Code is found on the bottom of the Character Map Window) in this example our Character code is 0xE9[*]For the Unicode escape sequence to work we replace the “0x” with the \u00.[*]Add the remainder of the character code to our \u00 to get “\u00E9”[*]Pass this string to the draw text functions. [/list=1]

Two examples have been added below

function preMain(){
    setPriceStudy(true);   
}
function main(){
    drawTextRelative(0, AboveBar1, "\\u00E9", Color.red, Color.white, Text.BOLD | Text.PRESET, "Wingdings", 15);  
} 

function preMain(){
    setPriceStudy(true); 
    setDefaultFont("Wingdings", 15); 
}
function main(){
    drawText("\\u00E9", AboveBar1, Color.red, Text.BOLD);     
} 

The Character Map window below displays the special character with the character code, and the chart illustrates how the code will display.
