# ChartEquidistantChannel (interface)

Represents the Equidistant Channel chart object. The tool that allows drawing two precisely parallel lines in any direction on the chart.

Environments: Desktop supported · CLI works differently · Cloud works differently.

- CLI: Created and kept with all its properties, but never drawn: the CLI displays no chart.
- Cloud: Created and kept with all its properties, but never drawn: the cloud displays no chart.

## Definition

```csharp
public interface ChartEquidistantChannel
```

## Examples

C#:

```csharp
using cAlgo.API;

namespace cAlgo
{
    // A sample indicator for showing how to use Chart.DrawEquidistantChannel method
    public partial class EquidistantChannelSample : Indicator
    {
        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            var channel = Chart.DrawEquidistantChannel("EquidistantChannel", Chart.FirstVisibleBarIndex, Bars.LowPrices[Chart.FirstVisibleBarIndex], Chart.LastVisibleBarIndex, Bars.HighPrices[Chart.LastVisibleBarIndex], 20 * Symbol.PipSize, Color.Red);

            channel.IsInteractive = true;
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
        }
    }
}
```

Python:

```python
import clr
clr.AddReference("cAlgo.API")

from cAlgo.API import *

class Test():
    def initialize(self):
        channel = api.Chart.DrawEquidistantChannel("EquidistantChannel", api.Chart.FirstVisibleBarIndex, api.Bars.LowPrices[api.Chart.FirstVisibleBarIndex], api.Chart.LastVisibleBarIndex, api.Bars.HighPrices[api.Chart.LastVisibleBarIndex], 20 * api.Symbol.PipSize, Color.Red)
        channel.IsInteractive = True
```
