Hello, > Thanks Graham, I am aware of these functions. But since the plots are > in bar/dollar coordinates, I cant go to barcount + 2 to write text, or > mark area. Actually you CAN. PlotText() and PlotShapes use BAR (x) and VALUE (y) co-ordinates, not pixel. http://www.amibroker.com/guide/afl/afl_view.php?plottext
Only Gfx* funcitons use PIXEL co-ordinates Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "kar_avi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 07, 2007 8:25 AM Subject: [amibroker] Re: How to you use the low-level graphics to plot text? > Thanks Graham, I am aware of these functions.
