`yloc` (library)

Definition Named constants for how label y-coordinates are interpreted: price, above the bar, or below the bar. Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("yloc Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    label.new(bar_index, high, "above", xloc=xloc.bar_index, yloc=yloc.abovebar)
    label.new(bar_index, low, "below", xloc=xloc.bar_index, yloc=yloc.belowbar)
    label.new(bar_index, close, "price", xloc=xloc.bar_index, yloc=yloc.price)
}

`yloc.abovebar` (constant)

Definition Vertical text alignment constant that places a label above the bar. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("yloc.abovebar Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    // The y value is ignored: the label sits above the bar
    label.new(bar_index, na, text="Above", yloc=yloc.abovebar, style=label.style_label_down)
}

`yloc.belowbar` (constant)

Definition Vertical text alignment constant that places a label below the bar. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("yloc.belowbar Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    // The y value is ignored: the label sits below the bar
    label.new(bar_index, na, text="Below", yloc=yloc.belowbar, style=label.style_label_up)
}

`yloc.price` (constant)

Definition Vertical location constant that places a label at a specific price level. Type const string Example

//@lipi=2
indicator("yloc.price Example", overlay=true)
if barstate.islast {
    label.new(bar_index, close, text="At the close", yloc=yloc.price)
}
