Note: In this tutorial and the video all the trend lines have been added to the chart using the drawing tools.
A Gold Pass member asked how it would be possible to manually draw trend lines on the chart and then move them a certain distance parallel to their original position, either up or down, using the keyboard.
Explanation of quick-tip 99
If there are already Trendlines on the chart these need to be processed to add a click event to them. This is done using the process_existing method.
The quick-tip tutorial demonstrates how to detect a new trendline has been drawn. This trendline can be shifted up or down by the user input Jump amount by pressing SHIFT-PgUp or SHIFT-PgDn respectively. The program also changes the color and thickness of the trendline when it is drawn.
If another Trendline is selected using the Arrow Pointer tool, its color is changed. If the SHIFT-PgUp or SHIFT-PgDn key combinations are used it is this Trendline that is shifted.
