Hello Eugene

I'd like to format some data to display on a chart using the DrawText function and have been learning about formatting data in C#. I have some code below, which lines up data nicely into columns and looks great when I use PrintDebug to print to the Debug Log. When I try to print the same data to the chart using DrawText function the data is no longer aligned as it is in PrintDebug. I have enclosed an attachment. Is there something obviously wrong?
