To Edit Plots by Layout

The toolbar provides two types of plot editing tools:

• Precise sizing tools control the angles and directions of plot lines.
• Freehand tools modify plot geometry.

You can also modify settings for the Plot Sizing parameters and Automatic Layout options.

Using layout tools is the only activity possible while the Plot Layout Tools toolbar is open.
