# The Chart Corner to Which an Object Is Attached
There is a number of [graphical objects](/en/docs/constants/objectconstants/enum_object) for which you can set a chart corner, relative to which the coordinates are specified in pixels. These are the following types of objects (in brackets object type identifiers are specified):
- Label (OBJ_LABEL);
- Button (OBJ_BUTTON);
- Bitmap Label (OBJ_BITMAP_LABEL);
- Edit (OBJ_EDIT).
- Rectangle Label (OBJ_RECTANGLE_LABEL);
| Object | ID | X/Y | Width/Height | Date/Price | OBJPROP_CORNER | OBJPROP_ANCHOR | OBJPROP_ANGLE |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Text | OBJ_TEXT | — | — | Yes | — | Yes | Yes |
| Label | OBJ_LABEL | Yes | Yes (read only) | — | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Button | OBJ_BUTTON | Yes | Yes | — | Yes | — | — |
| Bitmap | OBJ_BITMAP | — | Yes (read only) | Yes | — | Yes | — |
| Bitmap Label | OBJ_BITMAP_LABEL | Yes | Yes (read only) | — | Yes | Yes | — |
| Edit | OBJ_EDIT | Yes | Yes | — | Yes | — | — |
| Rectangle Label | OBJ_RECTANGLE_LABEL | Yes | Yes | — | Yes | — | — |
The following designations are used in the table:
- X/Y coordinates of anchor points specified in pixels relative to a chart corner;
- Width/Height objects have width and height. For "read only", the width and height values are calculated only once the object is rendered on chart;
- Date/Price anchor point coordinates are specified using the date and price values;
- OBJPROP_CORNER defines the chart corner relative to which the anchor point coordinates are specified. Can be one of the 4 values of the [ENUM_BASE_CORNER](/en/docs/constants/objectconstants/enum_basecorner#enum_base_corner) enumeration;
- OBJPROP_ANCHOR defines the anchor point in object itself and can be one of the 9 values of the [ENUM_ANCHOR_POINT](/en/docs/constants/objectconstants/enum_anchorpoint#enum_anchor_point) enumeration. Coordinates in pixels are specified from this very point to selected chart corner;
- OBJPROP_ANGLE defines the object rotation angle counterclockwise.
In order to specify the chart corner, from which X and Y coordinates will be measured in pixels, use [ObjectSetInteger](/en/docs/objects/objectsetinteger)(chartID, name, [OBJPROP_CORNER](/en/docs/constants/objectconstants/enum_object_property), chart_corner), where:
- chartID - chart identifier;
- name  name of a graphical object;
- OBJPROP_CORNER property ID to specify the corner for binding;
- chart_corner the desired chart corner, can be one of the values of the ENUM_BASE_CORNER enumeration.
ENUM_BASE_CORNER
| ID | Description |
| --- | --- |
| CORNER_LEFT_UPPER | Center of coordinates is in the upper left corner of the chart |
| CORNER_LEFT_LOWER | Center of coordinates is in the lower left corner of the chart |
| CORNER_RIGHT_LOWER | Center of coordinates is in the lower right corner of the chart |
| CORNER_RIGHT_UPPER | Center of coordinates is in the upper right corner of the chart |
Example:
```
void CreateLabel(long   chart_id,
                 string name,
                 int    chart_corner,
                 int    anchor_point,
                 string text_label,
                 int    x_ord,
                 int    y_ord)
  {
//---
   if(ObjectCreate(chart_id,name,OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0))
     {
      ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_CORNER,chart_corner);
      ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_ANCHOR,anchor_point);
      ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,x_ord);
      ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,y_ord);
      ObjectSetString(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_TEXT,text_label);
     }
   else
      Print("Failed to create the object OBJ_LABEL ",name,", Error code = ", GetLastError());
