Previous Top Next
drawImageAbsolute( barIndex, yValue, image, url, Flags [, tagID] )
The drawImageAbsolute function allows you to draw image objects at any location on your chart. Any image object created with drawImageAbsolute will remain at its designated relative offset from the most current bar. So, a image object drawn with drawShapeAbsolute at a bar index of -10 will always remain 10 bars back from the most current bar.
Parameters
| barIndex |
the bar index where the image object will be anchored (x-axis) |
| yValue |
the series value where the image object will be anchored (y-axis) |
| image |
see Image Objects below (must be a string) |
| url |
a url to be launched if image is clicked, or null if not used |
| Flags |
see Image Flags below |
| tagID |
optional. a unique identifier for this image object or null |

Usage
//draw a happy face over the high of the bar 5 bars back and color it red. Since we are using
//drawShapeAbsolute, the happy face will always remain at an offset of 5 bars back
drawImageAbsolute( -5, high(-5), "SystemHappyFace", null, Image.TOP | Image.ONTOP );
Notes
It’s possible to define mouse-button handler function for figures created by drawImageAbsolute. To do this you should set the parameter URL as 'EFS:functionName', where functionName is the caption of handler, which should be defined in script.
Note, starting with version 11.1 all mouse functions require the use of the Shift key when called from the chart. This change was done to avoid conflicts between EFS and chart mouse events (such as right clicking or double clicking) without compromising any backwards compatability.
