TextDrawing with linebreaks

Postby Januson » 17 Nov 2008

Hello
I need to create some text, but the text is long so it would be nice with linebreaks.

I need Bar Date and Time on to seperate lines!
Text_new(D,T,C,Text("Bar Date/Time is ",Date:0:0,"/",Time:0:0));


How do I do that?

Use two Text_new statements.

Januson,
depending on your bar spacing (if too little it might look clumsy), you can work with the vertical text location.
Use:
Text_SetStyle (ObjectID, HorizPl, VertPl)

Parameters
ObjectID - a numerical expression specifying the object ID number

HorizPl - a numerical expression specifying the horizontal placement style for the text object:

0 - to the right of the specified bar
1 - to the left of the specified bar
2 - centered on the specified bar

VertPl - a numerical expression specifying the vertical placement style for the text object:

0 - below the specified price value
1 - above the specified price value
2 - centered on the specified price value

Price value represents the vertical position corresponding to a value on the price scale of a chart.

So you can have up to three text messages using the same price to anchor them, only one is above, one below and the last one centered.

Best regards,

ABC
