Hi firstly my programming skill is only half-baked. So just to share some thought and hope to make the tool easier to program.

reference to: 4.3 Plotting on the Chart - MultiCharts

I think naturally people would care the appearance of the trendline created, so it would be more sensible to have DrwTrendLine.Create() to specify all parameters of the trendline when it is created, in one step.

I have written below code snippet, but not sure how to overload it in public. Could you teach me how?

Thanks.

Code

		ITrendLineObject Create(ChartPoint begin, ChartPoint end, Color? color=null, 
			int size=0, ETLStyle style=ETLStyle.ToolSolid, bool extLeft=false, bool extRight=false)
		{
			ITrendLineObject _TL = DrwTrendLine.Create(begin,end);
			_TL.Color=color ?? Color.Blue;
			_TL.Size=size;
			_TL.Style=style;
			_TL.ExtLeft=extLeft;
			_TL.ExtRight=extRight;
			return _TL;
			
		}
