Help with Fonts

[DaveS]

Does anyone know of an example indicator where the long form of DrawText() is used please? Iv'e not been able to sort out what to use for the Font parameter. I'm sure its not just e.g. 'Times'.

Thanks
Dave

Hello,

Here you go:
DrawText("end","testing",0,High[0],Color.Black);
DrawText("new",true,"2 testing",0,High[0],100,Color.Black,new Font("Arial",15,FontStyle.Bold),StringAlignment.Center,Color.Aqua ,Color.Blue,1);

Thanks Ben.
Need to get a book on C# I think. Anything you would recommend? Would not need to go right from the begining, but I'm certainly no professional.

Hi Dave,

Not sure if we can recommend a book for you. Perhaps someone in the community can help out. Otherwise you might want to Google.

Hi Dave,

I had the same problem and found the SampleChangeFont in the Samples section of the Forum had a solution.

Relevant Code:

#region Variables
private Font largeFont = new Font("Arial", 12); // Large font variable
private Font smallFont = new Font("Arial", 8); // Small font variable
#endregion


DrawText("lowText", true, Low[0].ToString(), 1, Low[0] - 2 * TickSize, Color.Red, smallFont, StringAlignment.Near, Color.Transparent, Color.Transparent, 0);
