PlotText ([bar],[value],[string],[color])

Usable in an seer chart object

This function plots text on a chart.

This function is similar to DrawText, however this function uses a relative coordinate positioning system.

Color can be any color constant, or result from the color function.

Example:

#Plot the open price on the chart for every 10th bar
PlotPrice('Candle');
#set the counter
my $count=1;
#loop round all bars in the chart
foreach my $bar (BarsBack+1..NumberOfBars) { 
  #add one to the counter
  $count++;
  if ($count==10) {
    #we've reach ten - plot the text and reset the counter
    PlotText($bar,Value(Open,$bar),Value(Open,$bar),Red);
    $count=1;
  }
}
