DrawText() and Autoscale

[TAJTrades]

I am having an issue when using DrawText and setting the AutoScale to false. Could you folks test this on your end to determine if it is a "Me" issue or NT issue. The image included shows the issue. This is the code that I am using:

#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
private int myInput0 = 1; // Default setting for MyInput0
private System.Drawing.Font textFont;
#endregion

protected override void Initialize()
{
Add(new Plot(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Orange), PlotStyle.Line, "Plot0"));
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Overlay = true;
PriceTypeSupported = false;
textFont = new Font("Arial", 16 );
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (ToTime(Time[0]) == 151500 )
DrawText( "test" + CurrentBar.ToString(),
false,
"Test Something",
0,
High[0] + 100 * TickSize,
0,
Color.Black,
textFont,
StringAlignment.Center,
Color.Transparent,
Color.Transparent,
0);

}



Thanks. You guys are great.

Hello,

What is it you are trying to accomplish? The issue is not apparent to me from your screen shot.

The DrawText(....) command has the Autoscale variable set to false (see the Arrow Line in the image) yet when I open the Text Properties it is set to true (see the Arrow Line in the image). Also the text "Test Something" should not be visible as it is above the highest price bar .

When I open the Text Properties and UnCheck the "Auto scale" it performs as expected. I don't have this issue with DrawLine, DrawArrowUp, DrawArrowDown, DrawRectangle when setting the AutoScale variable to true or false.

That leads me to believe that POSSIBLY the DrawText command is not handling the AutoScale correctly or something is not working correctly on my computer. One or the other. That is the reason I ask if it could be confirmed as a "Me" issue or NT issue. I have tried everything that I can think of and have not found a solution to the problem.

Hello,

I will have someone take a look at this on Monday. Thank you for your patience.

Now I am confused. Monday morning and I just started NT and the AutoScale is working as expected for the DrawText(...) command. Will watch and report. Maybe I was doing something wrong or it is an issue with my computer. Clueless at the moment.
