Problem drawing in the margin

[dontpanic]

Hi,

I'm having a problem drawing in the margin on the chart. Specifically, using lines or rectangles I can draw from, say, bar -1 to bar -2, or even from bar -1 to bar -10 if my margin is wide enough. However, if my left hand bar is anything further to the right than -1 it does not draw. For example I cannot draw from -2 to -3, there are no errors but the object simply doesn't appear.

Just noticed... if, after drawing the objects, I scroll the chart left then the missing drawing object appears.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Will.

Hello Dontpanic,

Thank you for your note.

This is to be expected with drawing objects and drawing into the future.

The reason for this is that if the anchors are not visible then the object would not be plotted.

When you moved the chart to the left then the anchors became visible and were able to plot the object.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Is there any way to draw in the margin then?

dontpanic,

Yes this is possible. It would require custom drawing and coding for this.

There is an example of this drawing being done which you can view the code from here -
