label namespace

`label`

Overview

The label namespace provides functions to draw text annotations anchored to bar coordinates. Labels can display values, status messages, or tooltips. Each call returns a handle you can update or delete later.

Common helpers

Function	Purpose
`label.new(x, y, text, xloc, yloc, color, style, textcolor)`	Create a label at `(x, y)`.
`label.set_x(id, x)` / `label.set_y(id, y)`	Move an existing label.
`label.set_text(id, text)`	Update the caption.
`label.set_style(id, style)`	Change label shape (arrow, circle, none).
`label.set_color(id, color)` / `label.set_bgcolor(id, color)` / `label.set_textcolor(id, color)`	Adjust colors.
`label.delete(id)`	Remove the label.

var label info = na

if barstate.islast
    price = close
    if na(info)
        info := label.new(bar_index, price,
            text = "Close: " + str.tostring(price, format.mintick),
            style = label.style_label_left,
            textcolor = color.white,
            bgcolor = color.new(color.blue, 70))
    else
        label.set_x(info, bar_index)
        label.set_y(info, price)
        label.set_text(info, "Close: " + str.tostring(price, format.mintick))
