Hello and happy new year. What is the best method to obtain the Y-axis coordinate for a specific price or market depth level on the DOM? I'm using sc.GetDOMColumnLeftCoordinate() to fetch the X-axis coordinate successfully, but I do not see a way to find Y-axis coordinates for price levels or market depth levels in the documentation? My use case is that I am using the Windows GDI to add custom text in the DOM column General Purpose 1 and need to align text vertically on the Y-axis based on price or market depth from inside market. Thank you in advance! Happy New Year!

User907968 [Direct Messages] - Posts: 637 ACSIL Interface Members - Functions: sc.RegionValueToYPixelCoordinate() This just returns the Y-axis coordinate of where my mouse pointer is, not of specific price levels. Do you have an example of how to use this with price or market depth levels?

This just returns the Y-axis coordinate of where my mouse pointer is, not of specific price levels. This is nonsense. int RegionValueToYPixelCoordinate (float RegionValue, int ChartRegionNumber); The sc.RegionValueToYPixelCoordinate function calculates the Y-axis pixel coordinate for the given RegionValue and the zero-based ChartRegionNumber which specifies the Chart Region. RegionValue will be a value within the Scale Range of the specified Chart Region. ChartRegionNumber is zero-based. The returned y-coordinate is in relation to the chart window itself. RegionValue can be any value you choose, it just happens that the example given uses 'sc.ActiveToolYValue'. For instance: int YPixelCoordinate = sc.RegionValueToYPixelCoordinate(sc.Close[sc.Index], sc.GraphRegion);

Thank you very much for your help, I didn't know what other values were acceptable for that first argument. This is fantastic, thank you again and happy new year.
