Feature Request: Extending Rectangle - Labels on Top or Bottom

Hello Sierra Chart Engineering,

Would be a nice feature to be able to specify the horizontal location of Extending Rectangle Text Labels.

This can be accomplished today by not showing Price Labels nor Text on the Extending Rectangle, and overlaying a Horizontal Ray at the desired location (top/center/bottom) and tracking a "composite" tool.

This, however, did lead me to finding and issue with Rays and text coloring (at least on v2960)
v2960 Cannot set Horizontal Ray TextColor from s_UseTool
for which I have a workaround as demonstrated in that linked issue.

I believe this can be made non-breaking if "Center Text Vertically" is changed to "Text Location" with 0==top, 1==center, 2==bottom so that 0 matches the "No" selection today, and 1 matches the "Yes" selection today.
I defer to the Sierra team on any determination of the best way to implement should Sierra decide this feature request worthwhile of course.

We want to point out the setting for "Center Vertically" which does allow the text to be moved to the center of the rectangle.

We have noted the feature request to have the text vertical position be allowed to be top, center, and bottom.

We can not say when we would get to any particular request.
