NinjaPriceAction

[jojotrader]

Hello,

I have searched the whole support forum, and did few things myself, but I got stuck if I wanted to change the Great NinjaPriceAction indicator text to Bold instead of regular.
Looks Bold is difficult to find.
If anyone could help me out.
So, I only want to change the text to Bold, that's all

Hi jojotrader, you will need to play around with the 'font' used in the DrawText code - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H.../DrawText.html

Here is the MSDN font reference page - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...wing.font.aspx

Hello again,

Yes, I looked also there, but nothing in terms of Tickness of text, I mean not any word about bold or regular....
I know it exists, because there's a indicator that uses that kind of "thing".

Johan.

Hi, if you remember in which indicator you saw it, just open up the source code, otherwise here is a link to MSDN and the Font.Bold property - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...font.bold.aspx

Not working, I did variables, I did properties with good result.
But if I enter textFont, it recieves error compilation...
Look

Johan.

if (curhigh < prevhigh + offset && curhigh > prevhigh - offset)
DrawText("DT"+CurrentBar,"DT",barsback, High[barsback] + toffset, textFont,Color.Gold);

Below the extra variables:

private Font textFont = new Font("Courier", 11, FontStyle.Bold);
private Color textColor = Color.Black;

Below the extra Properties:

[Description("Text Font")]
[Category("Visual")]
public Font TextFont
{
get { return textFont; }
set { textFont = value; }

}

What am I doing wrong, I know I'am close.....

Johan.

What error do you get Johan?

[TAJTrades]

Try this:

#region Variables
Other Stuff.....
private int sizeText = 10;
private System.Drawing.Font textFont;
#endregion

protected override void Initialize()
{
Other Stuff.....
textFont = new Font("Arial",sizeText,FontStyle.Bold);
}

#region Properties
Other Stuff.....
No Reference To Font
#endregion

It works for me.

Hi Johan,

the overloads for DrawText() allowing Font as an parameter require 10, 11 or 12 parameters. Your version of DrawText() contains 6. I am pretty sure that the compiler doesn't like that.

Regards
Ralph

[jojotrader]

Yes,

It constant refuses to compile,
Former post not working either....
Looks I'm stuck.

Johan,

As Ralph suggested, you will want to use an overload with the proper amounts of parameters. You need to fill out all the parameters in this one:

DrawText(string tag, bool autoScale, string text, int barsAgo, double y, double yPixelOffset, Color textColor, Font font, StringAlignment alignment, Color outlineColor, Color backColor, int opacity)

[jojotrader]

TAJTrader,

Compile no problem but not seeing any bold font in chart.
Even if I change everything, nothing seems to make any difference.

Johan

Thanks for your help anyway.

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Please post your latest version of code.

[jojotrader]

Strange, I can't export, even it is compiled...

Any errors in Control Center logs? You could also just copy + paste relevant code segments.

#region Variables
// Inputs with defaults
privateint strength = 3; // Default setting for Strength
privateint lookback = 50; // Default lookback period in Bars
privateint dtbstrength = 15; // Default double top and double bottom strength
privateint textoffset = 50; // Default setting Text Offset
private Font textFont = new Font("Courier", 11, FontStyle.Bold);

Here I would insert textFont:

if (curhigh < prevhigh + offset && curhigh > prevhigh - offset)
DrawText("DT"+CurrentBar,"DT",barsback, High[barsback] + toffset, Color.Gold);
elseif (curhigh > prevhigh)


Here are the properties:

[Description("Text Font")]
[Category("Visual")]
public Font TextFont
{
get { return textFont; }
set { textFont = value; }
