Part 2 – Add descriptive and dynamic text to the box
In part 2 of tutorial 29 I demonstrate how to add text to the box. I add text to the top (yellow) line such that the text displays the current price level of the line and its position is adjusted when the yellow or teal lines are moved. The value is changed when the yellow line is moved.
I also add text to show the price level of the red line. Similarly, the value of this text is adjusted when the red line is moved and its location is adjusted when the red or teal line is moved.
Finally, text is added next to the teal line at the average of the top and bottom lines, to show the time value of the line. The value is adjusted if the teal line is moved. Its location is adjusted if either the red or yellow lines are moved.
Sounds complicated? Watch the video…
