Graphic Tools

Notes Toolbox

This is the handy toolbox which will be often used. By default, it comes in one single column as
shown in the screenshot above. To switch it back to the old 2 columns toolbox, you can simply
click the top left mini arrow to toggle it into 2 columns.

Notes Some of the tools like Rectangle have more tools hidden. To expand, just click and
hold the icon to reveal all the similar tools under that group.
