Drawing API Reference

HyperionX drawing calls live on Draw and Ctx.Drawing.

Use HyperionX drawing methods, not drawing calls from other platforms. Draw.TextFixed is not a HyperionX API. Use Draw.FixedText(...) or Draw.HudText(...).

Tags

Drawings are keyed by tag. Reusing a tag updates/replaces the existing drawing.

Draw.LineHorizontal(this, "session-high", High[0], Brushes.DeepSkyBlue, 1, DashStyles.Dash);

Use stable tags for one drawing that moves. Use unique tags for historical marks.

Lines

Draw.Line(
    this,
    "swing-line",
    startBarsAgo: 10,
    startY: Low[10],
    endBarsAgo: 0,
    endY: High[0],
    brush: Brushes.DeepSkyBlue,
    width: 2,
    dash: DashStyles.Solid);

Horizontal line:

Draw.LineHorizontal(this, "last-close", Close[0], Brushes.Gray, 1, DashStyles.Dash);

Vertical line:

Draw.LineVertical(this, "event", 0, Brushes.Gray, 1, DashStyles.Solid);

Text

Draw.Text(
    this,
    "breakout-label",
    "Breakout",
    barsAgo: 0,
    y: High[0],
    textBrush: Brushes.White,
    fontName: "Verdana",
    textSize: 12,
    outlineBrush: Brushes.Black,
    areaBrush: Brushes.Black,
    areaOpacity: 0.7,
    yTop: true);

Fixed HUD Text

Use fixed text for panel labels, status values, timers, or readouts that should stay pinned while the chart pans.

Draw.FixedText(
    this,
    "status",
    $"Close: {Close[0]:0.####}",
    ChartHudAnchor.TopRight,
    xOffset: 10,
    yOffset: 10,
    textBrush: Brushes.White,
    backgroundBrush: Brushes.Black,
    borderBrush: Brushes.DeepSkyBlue,
    fontName: "Verdana",
    fontSize: 12,
    opacity: 0.85,
    padding: 6);

Draw.HudText(...) is an alias for fixed HUD text.

Available anchors:

• TopLeft
• TopCenter
• TopRight
• CenterLeft
• Center
• CenterRight
• BottomLeft
• BottomCenter
• BottomRight

Arrows

Draw.Arrow(
    this,
    ArrowDirection.Up,
    "long-arrow",
    barsAgo: 0,
    y: Low[0],
    connector: ArrowConnector.End,
    brush: Brushes.LimeGreen);

Arrow directions:

• Left
• Down
• Right
• Up

Remove And Check Drawings

if (Draw.Exists("status"))
    Draw.Remove("status");

Draw.Reset();

Ctx.Drawing exposes a smaller structured wrapper:

Ctx.Drawing.FixedText("status", "Live", ChartHudAnchor.TopRight);
bool exists = Ctx.Drawing.Exists("status");
Ctx.Drawing.Remove("status");

Pane Targeting

Several drawing calls accept a PaneControl pane = null. If no pane is supplied, the drawing targets the main pane.

For indicator panels, keep the PaneControl returned by AddPane(...) and pass it into drawing calls where needed.

Porting Notes

Other-platform concept	HyperionX direction
Draw.TextFixed(...)	Draw.FixedText(...) or Ctx.Drawing.FixedText(...).
TextPosition.TopRight	ChartHudAnchor.TopRight.
IsOverlay	Use panes and plots.
direct WPF chart drawing	Use Draw or IChartOverlayRenderer.
