Is it possible to draw a text label towards the top of the chart (say at 95% mark) but still tied to a bar on the chart using ACSIL? In other words, vertically it would be relative placement but horizontally it would still be linked to the bar index. I am looking for the text label to scroll left/right with the chart but a vertical scroll of the chart would keep the drawing stationary. Thanks. |

Yes of course. This is supported. You can still specify a specific s_Usetool::BeginIndex or BeginDateTime to position the text at.

Do I set Tool.UseRelative to 1 or 0? Don't I need to set this to 0 to get the text at a specific index? If so, I don't know how I can specify a Tool.BeginValue of 95%.

This is all answered in the documentation here: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSILDrawingTools.html#UseRelativeValue Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I have read the doc but still I am unsure how this can be done. In the link you posted, under BeginValue it says: If UseRelativeValue is set to 1 or a nonzero value, then BeginValue is a relative value. It is a percentage. Where 1 = 1%. The entire height of the Chart Region is 100%. 0 = The bottom of the Chart Region. 100 = The top of the Chart Region.
If I set UseRelativeValue to 1, I don't understand how I could specify the x-axis as an index value for BeginIndex rather than as a percentage. My goal is to draw a marker/text that doesn't move when I scroll the chart up/down but moves with the chart when I scroll the chart left/right. Thanks. |

Did you read the documentation for UseRelativeValue ? It does not affect the x-axis. You just simply do what you want and it will work.

Coming out in the next release: The ACSIL data structure member s_UseTool::UseRelativeValue has been renamed to s_UseTool::UseRelativeVerticalValues . Studies which use this structure member will function properly. However, when they are recompiled they will need to have this member renamed.
