Paralell rays (channels) on logarithmic charts

Hi, When drawing a channel on a logarithmic chart the lines appear as convergent. I have read your documentation and I understand the reasoning behind that decision and but I nevertheless think you should allow the possibility to do it. Given that a logarithmic chart reflects in a better way how a stock or index has grown over time by keeping the intervals on the Y axis proportional to its real growth percentagewise, in my opinion it does indeed make sense to be able to draw paralell lines on it, so I cannot agree with the last part of the following sentence from your doc : "If you want lines to visually appear to be parallel on a Logarithmic scale, then you need to manually draw them and not use the Parallel Lines/Rays drawing tools. However, you need to ask yourself whether what you are doing is logical to begin with." So my request would be, could you add an option to keep the channel lines paralell on a logarithmic chart?, similarly as the ability to support (or not) curved lines, which by the way I think should be disabled by default. Thanks
