#1 Being able to write text within a specified pane (other than the Price pane), as well as choose a font & size for such, is sorely missing.
This would be the equivalent of DrawHeaderText for all other panes ("DrawPaneText", maybe??).
#2 It would also be nice to have user-selectable font & size choices for program-wide use via Preferences.

Thanks for fixing the title... this one is better!
It would also be nice if the DrawHeaderText() ...
1) background color was white so the plot behind the header text doesn't make the text hard to read,
2) the text lines were leaded closer together. There's too much space between them now.
Bottom line, make it work like WL6 has it.

Just activated this item for Build 15 inclusion. I will add an optional PaneTag parameter to DrawHeaderText.
DrawHeaderText... build 15 👍

Wasn't that included in Build 14 as
CODE:or are we talking about different things?
SetTextDrawingFont(f);
Wouldn't it be better to change global settings in Preferences instead of programmatically? Allowing changes in both places (Preferences and programmatically) just creates confusion.
I disagree. The programmatic methods are changing the font for text that is rendered on the chart via strategy code. A strategy might want to even use different fonts or sizes for different annotations. There are other text elements in the chart such as margin and indicator labels that could better be exposed in preferences. It would not make sense to change these via code, nor is it possible.

That's exactly what I was talking about.
