Text SetStyle

Sets the placement style of a text object relative to the bar and to the price value specified for the object.

Text_SetStyle returns a value of 0 if the placement style of the object was successfully modified, and a value of -2 if the specified object ID number is invalid.

Usage

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.

• An object-specific ID number is returned by Text_New when the text object is created.
• Use Text_GetHStyle and Text_GetVStyle to get the text object's horizontal and vertical placement.

Example

Center the text object with an ID number of 3 on the bar and on the price value, specified for the object:

Value1 = Text_SetStyle(3, 2, 2);
