Simple Text Label in ACSIL?

getting my head around ACSIL finally!

I'm trying to display a simple label with the value of the study I'm calculating.

I'm looking at the examples and it seems like a lot of code to display a simple label.

In another platform I would do something like:

say the study calculated = SMA

Addlabel("some text", SMA, some.color);

Is there a tutorial or an example showing a simpler usage of displaying a label on a chart?

Thank you!

Thanks, if I understand correctly that is for displaying a studie's name/value in the same manner one would specify in the subgraph style section of an advanced study.

What I'm looking to do is display a series of labels much like the "Large Text studies" which is the examples I was looking at, which seem verbose, but if that's the way to do it, I guess I'll do that.

I believe what I'm looking for is this:
ACSIL Interface Members - sc.Subgraph Array: sc.Subgraph[].DrawStyle

sc.Subgraph[].DrawStyle and in particular this DRAWSTYLE_TEXT, is this correct?

I'm porting a study in which I have various values displayed as text labels and which change colors dynamically. The values of this studies will not be displayed as subgraphs.

Thanks!

The Text Draw Style is documented here:
Chart Studies: Text (ACSIL: DRAWSTYLE_TEXT)

This does not really sound like what you want. The other method is documented here and requires using the Text drawing tool:
