Be Much simpler to just render U as a Text,
and rotate 180 degrees when it’s Swing High.
Use FontSize in TextFormat to control Size.
Sample script below can be placed in any OnRender.
Renders Text U w/Arial 36p font and rotated 180d.
You’ll Adjust your startX/startY accordingly,
as well as any Rotation Placement Adjustment.
using(SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextFormat textFormat = new SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextFormat(Core.Globals.DirectWriteFactory, "Arial", 36))
using(SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextLayout textLayout = new SharpDX.DirectWrite.TextLayout(Core.Globals.DirectWriteFactory, "U", textFormat, textFormat.FontSize, textFormat.FontSize))
{
//Render Normal Text U
float startX = (ChartPanel.W - ChartPanel.X) / 2f;
float startY = (ChartPanel.H - ChartPanel.Y) / 2f;
SharpDX.Vector2 startVec = new SharpDX.Vector2(startX, startY);
SharpDX.Direct2D1.SolidColorBrush customDXBrush = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.SolidColorBrush(RenderTarget, SharpDX.Color.LimeGreen);
RenderTarget.DrawTextLayout(startVec, textLayout, customDXBrush);
//Render and Rotate U 180 Degrees
SharpDX.Matrix3x2 sm = RenderTarget.Transform; //Save Current Transform
//SharpDX.Vector2 startVecR = new SharpDX.Vector2(startX + textLayout.Metrics.Width, startY + textLayout.Metrics.Height); //Adjust Rotation Point
SharpDX.Vector2 startVecR = new SharpDX.Vector2(startX + textLayout.Metrics.Width, startY); //Adjust Rotation Point
RenderTarget.Transform = SharpDX.Matrix3x2.Rotation(NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.DrawingTool.MathHelper.DegreesToRadians(180), startPointR); //Rotate 180 degrees
customDXBrush.Color = SharpDX.Color.Red;
RenderTarget.DrawTextLayout(startVecR, textLayout, customDXBrush);
RenderTarget.Transform = sm; //Set Back to Saved Transform
customDXBrush.Dispose();
textLayout.Dispose();
textFormat.Dispose();
}After tinkering, it’s growing on me.
I tend to always have too many lines.
This might be slightly cleaner look.
Might add option to my Swings Drawing Tool. (Line/U one/both/none)
Be Safe in this Crazy World!
