Basic Tools - Triangle
The Triangle tool, along with the Ellipse and the Rectangle, provide 2 dimensional drawing tools. Defining a Triangle shape on the Chart may be an area of congestion or it may be a longer term pattern that may be repeating itself. Drawing one Triangle on the chart and then duplicating it provides the ability to create a template of the initial movement that you are analyzing.

After alteration, the user has the ability to set these settings as default for all future lines drawn on the page.
