Hello Sierra Chart,
How can a rectangle be drawn on a numbers chart at a specific price level? When using the DRAWING_RECTANGLEHIGHLIGHT tool, the rectangle doesn't span any of the columns. I've attached an example mock-up.

Thank you

Is there a transparency option for the "Color Background at Price" Draw Style?

You cannot use a rectangle Tool type of drawing to do this. It will not work because it needs to span at least two bars.

So you want a transparent rectangle equal to the Tick Size in height, centered over the chart bar?

Right now there are these 6 related Subgraph Draw Styles:
Chart Studies: Left Side Tick Size Rectangle (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_LEFT_SIDE_TICK_SIZE_RECTANGLE) (First one and the next five)
