# Bitmap Label

This object, as well as ["Bitmap"](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/objects/graphical_objects/obj_bitmap) is used for adding various images to a chart in the "bitmap" (*.bmp) format. However the bitmap label is anchored to a chart window and does not move when the chart is scrolled. Bitmap label can also be used as a [button](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/objects/graphical_objects/obj_button) processed by [MQL5](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/algotrading/autotrading#mql5) programs.

## Controls

The object is moved using the anchor point located on its upper left corner.

## Parameters

There are the following parameters of the "Bitmap Label" object:

![Parameters](https://www.metatrader5.com/i/help/terminal/en/obj_bitmap_label_parameters.png)

- X-distance — distance in pixels from the anchor corner of the chart window till the control point of the object along the time axis;
- Y-distance — distance in pixels from the anchor corner of the chart window till the control point of the object along the price axis;
- Anchor — one of object sides or corners, where the anchor point is located;
- Corner — one of the corners of the chart window, from which distances along X and Y axes will be set;
- Bitmap File (On) — selecting a file to be displayed when the label is on. The bitmap files should be located in the [/MQL5/Images](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/start_advanced/structure#mql5) folder of the trading platform. If the object is created by an MQL5 program, the image file cannot be changed;
- Bitmap File (Off) — selecting a file to be displayed when the label is off. The bitmap files should be located in the [/MQL5/Images](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/start_advanced/structure#mql5) folder of the trading platform. If the object is created by an MQL5 program, the image file cannot be changed;
- Width — width of the object in pixels. This is an informational field, it cannot be modified;
- Height — height of the object in pixels. This is an informational field, it cannot be modified.
- State — selecting the label state: on or off. This parameter allows implementing the interaction with an MQL5 program. The program can read the change of the label state and a certain program code will be implemented.

> In order to have the possibility to change the label state in a chart, it is necessary to enable the option ["Disable selection"](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/charts_analysis/objects#disable_selection) in object properties.

Common parameters of object are described in a [separate section](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/terminal/help/charts_analysis/objects#draw_settings).
