How to draw textbox in drawing tool

[s.kinra]

Hello,
I would like to draw a text box (for text background area fill) for labels in my drawing tools. Currently I have only text so sometimes it gets unreadable when over candles, so I need a textbox. What is the best / simplest work around for this ? Any help is appreciated!

Hello s.Kinra,

Thanks for your post.

I would suggest looking at the code of NinjaTrader_Jim's Labeled Lines Drawing tools for an example of a text box starting at line 415 and then 429.

This is publicly available on our NinjaTrader Ecosystem website:

Here is a basic guideline of how to import NinjaScript add-ons in NinjaTrader 8:

Note — To import NinjaScripts you will need the original .zip file.

To Import:

1. Download the NinjaScripts to your desktop, keep them in the compressed .zip file.
2. From the Control Center window select the menu Tools > Import > NinjaScript Add-on...
3. Select the downloaded .zip file
4. NinjaTrader will then confirm if the import has been successful.

Critical - Specifically for some NinjaScripts, it will prompt that you are running newer versions of @SMA, @EMA, etc. and ask if you want to replace, press 'No'
