Would it be possible to create a rectangle that was diagonal inclination, in addition to the current X-Y axis alignment? Reason is, that trading ranges are not always just horizontally aligned. They can actually slope up or down somewhat, and it would be awesome if the rectangle could be drawn to be diagonally oriented as well as horizontally oriented as is the case currently.

I would be quite happy to even be able to plot a rectangle, in the first place.
It blows my mind as to why this is so hard to do on this platform, and why nobody asked about this before!

Just drawing a rectangle is really easy. I added a button in the tool bar for that, as well as extending rectangle (great for drawing SnR levels), parallel lines, line and erase for those graphics as well. So really easy to do it. BUT I really would like to be able to draw the diagonal-oriented rectangles also. Would be such a good tool to have available. Another good idea (I am full of it right?) would be the capability to color in the area between lines, like moving averages as an example. Like to look at cyclicality studies and many times it really helps to see regions of the chart colored in, to my eye anyway. Back in the day I used to see some charts with Gartley patterns colored in, and thought that would be such a neat tool. For a graphically oriented person anyway.

You can use parallel lines for this
