I use it pretty much everyday to create documentation and marketing illustrations so I add functionality as needed.

Tim,

Thanks. I like this drawing tool. It allows me to stay in the Wolfram environment when writing complex documents. Hopefully, you continue to maintain it.

Regards

Jesus

Jesus, Evaluate Get["<yourDirectory>/wldraw-main/WLDrawPackage.wl"] in an empty notebook. Tim

I have tried to run the package from Wolfram Desktop, but I couldn't make it to work. All I did was to download the zip and the run DrawTools.wl. Could you give us a getting started lines?

Regards,

Jesus

Szabolcs, glad you like it.

  • The canvas size is set by the global variable $dtCanvasSize. It is currently set to 750 but you can change it. However using a value other than 750 will cause the renderings in Draw to not match what is copied to the clipboard. Line weights, arrow sizes, etc. will be affected. Changing it to 700 would shrink it a little and not be too noticeable.

  • The GitHub notebook now displays cell brackets so you can see when draw[] is evaluating.

This is fantastic! It is a serious upgrade to drawing cartoons programmatically using Graphics.
