Tools Editing Overview

Drawing / Analysis tools which have been added to a view can be formatted, moved, re-sized, edited, deleted, copied, hidden or displayed using the following options:

These options are available in the Sidebar and/or the following mouse-click actions.

Sidebar

In the Sidebar Plot Options, tool visibility can be chosen at any time using the Tools checkbox (to turn all tools on or off) or sub-checkboxes (to turn individual tool types on or off).

Tool properties can be configured in the Sidebar when you click the mouse on an individual tool.

Left-Click

If you click the left mouse button on a Tool, this will "select" the tool, and you will see the "control points" highlighted on the tool. While in this mode you can edit as follows:

Tool Properties – the tool properties (e.g. colour, line width, line styles) can be customized in the Sidebar
Re-size – you can click and drag the control points to re-size the Tool (if applicable)
Move – if you hover the mouse over any part of the Tool, but NOT on a control point, you will see the four-way arrow cursor, allowing you to click and drag the entire Tool to a new location
Delete – you can delete the selected tool by pressing Delete on the keyboard
