Hello SC Team - Have couple of questions related to TOOL_TEXT.

Question 1 - I am trying to draw some text Left to a certain BarIndex using the option - DT_LEFT - but doesn't seem to work ( DT_RIGHT works or so it appears . Is this option available for TOOL_TEXT? With DT_LEFT - Would expect the last character of the text to be "left" of the bar index picked but it's not working as intended.

Question 2 - Is there any option to Attach the text to the Price scale separator similar to the attached chart? At present I can do it using "sub-graph" and turning on the text. Would like to do it using TOOL_TEXT if it is an option. With Sub-graph based text - Irrespective of the horizontal scale - the text gets perfectly attached to the price scale and wanted to see if something similar can be done using TOOL_TEXT.

Question 3 - Is it possible to highlight the price in Pricescale through Tools similar to the one you highlight using "last Price marker"?

PS: Have explored the GDI route earlier but being handicapped due to "sc" structure not being available to GDI functions and trying to use TOOL_TEXT instead.

Thanks

SC Team - At present you use LL_* options for subgraphs. Wondering if there are any equivalent options for Tools(as long as the tool value is rounded to the price).

LL_VALUE_ALIGN_VALUES_SCALE
LL_NAME_ALIGN_LEFT
LL_NAME_ALIGN_RIGHT

Thanks
