How to plot text (outside of bars)

[richard]

Hi. I am developing an indicator that requires me to plot text on the x-axis and the y-axis (to the left of the price points). I set the right bar margin to 60 to give me room to plot text to the left of the price points. I know that DrawText() is used to plot text on actual bar data, but I need to plot outside the bar data area. I also need to plot some text over the x-axis (i.e. above the time on each bar).



Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks

Not doable. Your custom plotting is restricted to the "canvas area" where indicators and charts are plotted.
