Printing a Label on the Chart

Recommended Posts

When the chart is being printed, how can we print a lable on the screen.

 

I am writing some indicator which plots the dot using the Plot1 Method.

 

I want some text written on top of the dot something like "Pivot High (1.3531)" in my case. I want the text as a label.

Hello,

 

The option you are using to post is intended for developers to post finished versions of indicators. Posts such as yours should be made under the 'TS Custom Programming' section.

 

Printing a label is fairly straightforward . . . however TS is a little clunky in how these are updated and displayed, so if this is plotted on your chart too frequently then your screen will end up a horrendous mess.

 

Also, if you're going to be using TS a lot then it pays to learn a little EasyLanguage, so I'll give you some code below that prints text and you can have a go at tweaking it to suit your goals.

 

Keep posting your adapted code back here with any problems you have and I will help you to get it to how you want it.

Input:
leftStren   (4), 
rightStren  (4),
UpAbove   (.50),
DnBelow   (.50),
TextColor (red),
Decimal     (2),
LeftorRight (0  {minus is left, plus is right});

Var:
TextIDHi    (0),
TextIDLo    (0)
   ;

If 	pivotHighVS(1,H,leftStren,rightStren,rightStren+1) <> -1		 
then begin 
	TextIDHi = Text_New(Date,calctime(Time,LeftorRight),H[rightStren]+UpAbove,numtostr(High[rightStren],decimal)); 
				Text_SetStyle(TextIDHi,1,1); 
				Text_SetColor(TextIDHi,TextColor); 
end; 
If pivotLowVS(1,L,leftStren,rightStren,rightStren+1) <> -1
then begin	 
	TextIDLo = Text_New(Date,calctime(Time,LeftorRight),L[rightStren]-DnBelow,numtostr(Low[rightStren],decimal)); 
				Text_SetStyle(TextIDLo,1,0); 
				Text_SetColor(TextIDLo,TextColor); 
end;
