How can I round/trunc number/decimal in WL5.1?

Something like, "DrawText( PricePane, " " + (High[bar]/Close[bar]), 50, 50, Color.Black, Color.White );" .

It draws 10-14 digit decimal number. Thanks.

QuickRef for FormatChartValue and FormatValue.

Additionally, MSDN or Google for .NET string formatting functions.

Although the built-in functions are enough for this purpose, Custom Numeric Format Strings can also be helpful.

As our WL5 Wiki FAQ suggests, think .NET and the required function will be found in System.Math:
An equivalent WealthScript function can't be found
