[amibroker] Re: How to you use the low-level graphics to plot text?

["kar_avi" <kar_avi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Graham, I am aware of these functions. But since the plots are
in bar/dollar coordinates, I cant go to barcount + 2 to write text, or
mark area. Cant draw a vertical line as x0 has to be SMALLER than x1.
 This is possible with GFX, but then I cant get the coords in pixel of
H[barcount-1] or any other. If this was possible, it would open a new
vista for me to put MM, Triggers, Comments all on the chart that I am
viewing to trade.

Thanks
