Drawstyle Vertical number/text: It would be very useful to add a vertical writing option (not only horizontal). Date Time Of Last Edit: 2020-10-28 16:17:43

Note: what's REALLY annoying is that functionality is actually IS THERE - comes with Vertical Line [screenshot attached], but it only comes together with Vertical Line object {and I've tried to make it transparent - to leave just text) - nope, very limited settings for the Vertical Line object :(( I was asking basically the same ([Feature Request (?) / Programming Help (?) ] Text Tool: vertical text orientation), "[Programming Help] - [Feature Request (?) / Programming Help (?) ] Text Tool: vertical text orientation" - but nothing so far :(( |

Yes you are right .... It would also save space and be clearer in the chart window in some situations.

We will add a new text alignment option to support a vertical text orientation for ACSIL Draw Styles supporting text alignment.

This was completed, more than a month ago. We apologize, we need to check to make sure we have the documentation updated. This is the new alignment flag: VERTICAL_TEXT_ORIENTATION_FOR_DRAW_STYLE It is supported with these styles: DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_TEXT_WITH_ALIGNMENT DRAWSTYLE_TEXT_WITH_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_TEXT_WITH_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT DRAWSTYLE_CUSTOM_VALUE_AT_Y: DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_CUSTOM_VALUE_AT_Y: When we go through feature requests from the past, and then we say that we will do something very specific, it means that we are actually starting on it, either that day or within days.

If I understood correctly - that will be applicable to subparagraphs ONLY: It is supported with these styles:
DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_TEXT_WITH_ALIGNMENT DRAWSTYLE_TEXT_WITH_OFFSET_ALIGNMENT All these parameters are for sub-graphs; Can the same be added for the drawing tool, please ? P.S. code { s_UseTool Tool; Tool.Clear(); // reset tool structure for our next use Tool.Text = sLongW_type; Tool.BeginIndex = i; Tool.BeginValue = sc.High ; { // Common attributes Tool.FontSize = 7; Tool.LineNumber = UniqueID2+i ; // +i = HE HADO ?? Tool.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber; Tool.Region = 0; Tool.DrawingType = DRAWING_TEXT; Tool.Region = sc.GraphRegion; Tool.FontFace = sc.ChartTextFont(); Tool.FontBold = false; Tool.ReverseTextColor = 0; Tool.Color = RGB(255,255,255); Tool.TextAlignment = DT_CENTER | DT_TOP; // would be great to have an ability to apply // VERTICAL_TEXT_ORIENTATION_FOR_DRAW_STYLE somewhere here Tool.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_ALWAYS; } sc.UseTool(Tool); |

Yes for Study Subgraphs. We will have to add support for vertical orientation for text for Drawing tools. This may already exist. We are looking into it and should have a proper support for this within ACSIL in about a week or so. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
