Custom lines with labels. How to plot text next to the plotted line on the chart

[twin]

I got this to plot a line on the chart and wanted to plot text to the right side of the line

Eg : " ____M1" want to show up next to the Horizontal Line with the "value"

Plot( cdl( M1 ), "", colorLightBlue, styleLine +styleThick  + styleNoRescale );
Plot( cdl( N1 ), "", colorLightBlue, styleLine +styleThick  + styleNoRescale );

Also want ted to fill grey cloud between the lines

PlotText( ''text'', x, y, color, bkcolor = colorDefault, yoffset = 0 )

got the syntax in AFL library but I dont know how to implement it Plz help

There are many possible ways, but this one is probably the simplest:

M1 = LastVisibleValue(HHV(H, 10)); // Example
N1 = LastVisibleValue(LLV(L, 10)); // Example
LVBI = LastVisibleValue(BarIndex());

PlotOHLC(M1, M1, N1, N1, "", colorLightYellow, styleCloud|styleNoLabel, Null, Null, 0, -5, 1);
Plot( M1, "M1", colorLightBlue, styleLine|styleThick|styleNoRescale );
Plot( N1, "N1", colorLightBlue, styleLine|styleThick|styleNoRescale );

PlotTextSetFont("   M1   ", "Arial black", 10,  LVBI - 5, M1, colorGreen, colorLightGrey, -5);
PlotTextSetFont("   N1   ", "Arial black", 10,  LVBI - 5, N1, colorRed, colorLightGrey, -5);

@Milosz Thank You so much

Hi, I want to use labels to mark fixed Values on the chart for example a support or a resistance using the PlotGrid method, can you help me on this?

[Milosz]

Can you help me on this?

@mugsd your description is very short and vague. I might be able to help you but I won't do everything from scratch. Why should I? I have already provided several examples that you can use. One of them is above. Have you tried modifying it? Some others here:

Help with IIF function in a loop. Horizontal lines with labels. How to check if the code is efficient?

@JEETU because (in my opinion) your code seems too complicated for what it does, you can analyse my example code. It is four times shorter than yours and very light (just one static variable, no additional refreshes of any kind etc.) How to operate it: Ctrl + Left Mouse Button --> Select spots Ctrl + Middle Mouse Button --> Clear selected spots Ctrl + Middle Mouse button on the right axis (Y/Price) area --> Delete all spots [Lines2] _SECTION_BEGIN("Horizontal Lines - Mouse click"); /// @li…

Calculate size of font, in bar/price coordinate system mode

@bobptz in my opinion you usually tend to unnecessarily overcomplicate things. Can't you simply use PlotText or PlotTextSetFont? You can choose the text (and rectangle) size, color and the font in just one line without any hassle. For instance: x = SelectedValue( BarIndex() ) + 1; PlotTextSetFont( " High ", "Arial Black", 10, x , SelectedValue( H ), colorWhite, colorGreen, 0 ); PlotText( " Low ", x, SelectedValue( L ), colorWhite, colorRed, -10 ); [1]

Conditional horizontal lines. Custom values displayed on Y axis area

@Fossil I couldn't reply earlier because I've been busy today (and unfortuantelly the day is not over yet ... ) but modyfing the code was really simple. Take into account, that It was made on the go and for this reason it's not the most sophisticated solution, but rather one of the simplest I would rather plot those values directly on the chart, but if you want them to be visible on the Y-axis area it requires adding only 3-4 additional lines of code: Condition = C < Ref(…

I want to use labels to mark fixed Values on the chart for example a support or a resistance

But in this case I simply recommend using Horizontal line Tool and marking Show Y value on right/left in the properties. No AFL coding required at all:

Plot( MovingAV, " MOVINGAV " , colourchange , style = styleLine , styleThick , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 , ) ;
WHERE IS WRONG ? PLEASE.....

[beppe]

@niloy, welcome to the Forum!

Please try this:

Plot( MovingAV, "MOVINGAV", colourchange, style = styleLine | styleThick ) ;

Optionally, you can shorten it as:

Plot( MovingAV, "MOVINGAV", colourchange, styleLine | styleThick ) ;

The significant change here is the use of the | operator (Bit-wise "Or") to combine the values of style. The extra parameters are probably not needed, and you can leave them out.

I suggest to carefully review the documentation for the Plot() function and this document titled: Using graph styles, colors, titles and parameters in Indicators, that will provide many examples.
