[Programming Help] - DRAWSTYLE_TEXT - Left or Right text alignment instead of default Center

Hi Team,

I have coded an ACSIL study to use the DRAWSTYLE_TRANSPARENT_TEXT / DRAWSTYLE_TEXT to plot words when conditions are met.

The default text alignment appears to be centered, but I need to be able to make this left-aligned and/or right-aligned because it is too hard to see which bar the text relates to.

Can you please help with how I can do this? I tried the below from tool text alignment but that didn't work ('struct s_SCSubgraph_260' has no member named 'TextAlignment')
Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study: s_UseTool::TextAlignment

Thankyou

Hi SC Team,

Can you please reconsider this as a support ticket, not programming help?
Reason being that ACSIL doesn't appear to support text alignment functionality for DRAWSTYLE_TEXT.
If this is true, please consider it a feature request, else please advise if there is undocumented functionality to do this.

Thankyou
