Re: How to display variable on a chart

["Rob" <Rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

To display a variable on a chart use the EL "Text_New" command,
you will also have to use the "NumToStr" command to convert your
variable (if numeric) into a string. eg for some number called 'A'

VAR TmpText(0),         ** Needed for Text_New, holds a Text Ref number 
         A(10);

TmpText=Text_New(Date,Time,Pos,NumToStr(A,0));
 
Where Pos= y axis position on chart & would be something like L-1 or H+1
others self explanatory.

Capt Zap!
