`text` (library)

Definition Named constants for text alignment (text.align_*) and formatting (text.format_*) used by label, box, and table. On boxes and tables, pass alignment to texthalign and textvalign (not the older text_halign / text_valign names). Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("text Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    box.new(bar_index - 10, high, bar_index, low, border_color=color.blue, bgcolor=color.new(color.blue, 0.2), text="Hi", textcolor=color.white, texthalign=text.align_center, textvalign=text.align_bottom, text_formatting=text.format_bold)
    label.new(bar_index, high, "BUY", text_formatting=text.format_italic)
}

`text.align_bottom` (constant)

Definition Vertical text alignment constant that aligns text to the bottom of the container. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("text.align_bottom Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    t = table.new(position.top_right, 1, 1, bgcolor=color.gray)
    table.cell(t, 0, 0, text="Close", width=10, height=5, textvalign=text.align_bottom, textcolor=color.white)
}

`text.align_center` (constant)

Definition Text alignment constant that centers text horizontally or vertically in the container. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("text.align_center Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    t = table.new(position.top_right, 1, 1, bgcolor=color.gray)
    table.cell(t, 0, 0, text="Close", width=10, height=5, texthalign=text.align_center, textcolor=color.white)
}

`text.align_left` (constant)

Definition Horizontal text alignment constant that aligns text to the left of the container. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("text.align_left Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    t = table.new(position.top_right, 1, 1, bgcolor=color.gray)
    table.cell(t, 0, 0, text="Close", width=10, height=5, texthalign=text.align_left, textcolor=color.white)
}

`text.align_right` (constant)

Definition Horizontal text alignment constant that aligns text to the right of the container. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("text.align_right Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    t = table.new(position.top_right, 1, 1, bgcolor=color.gray)
    table.cell(t, 0, 0, text="Close", width=10, height=5, texthalign=text.align_right, textcolor=color.white)
}

`text.align_top` (constant)

Definition Vertical text alignment constant that aligns text to the top of the container. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("text.align_top Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    t = table.new(position.top_right, 1, 1, bgcolor=color.gray)
    table.cell(t, 0, 0, text="Close", width=10, height=5, textvalign=text.align_top, textcolor=color.white)
}

`text.format_bold` (constant)

Definition Text formatting constant that renders text in bold. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("text.format_bold Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    label.new(bar_index, high, text="Close: " + str.tostring(math.round(close, 2)), text_formatting=text.format_bold)
}

`text.format_italic` (constant)

Definition Text formatting constant that renders text in italic. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("text.format_italic Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    label.new(bar_index, high, text="Close: " + str.tostring(math.round(close, 2)), text_formatting=text.format_italic)
}

`text.format_none` (constant)

Definition Text formatting constant that applies no special formatting. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("text.format_none Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    label.new(bar_index, high, text="Close: " + str.tostring(math.round(close, 2)), text_formatting=text.format_none)
}
