I am using Mathematica 13.2.1.0 Home Edition running on Windows 10. It has come to my attention that Drawing Tools is missing from my installation. When attempting to launch drawing tools from a plot window the following message pops up: The file “C:\Program Files\Wolfram Research\Mathematica\13.2\SystemFiles\Components\Twilio\FrontEnd\SystemResources\DrawingTools.nb” could not be found. Also, the Drawing Tools palette is missing from the Palettes menu and from the Graphics pulldown.
Should Drawing Tools be part of the Home Edition version of Mathematica?
Thank you for any comments and/or suggestions regarding this issue.
The DrawingTools palette was replaced by the inline tools available to Canvas. In 13.2, it was removed from the layout. The current method is just select the graphic you want to modify, hit Ctrl+D (Graphics > Convert to/from Canvas), and that will summon the interface.
This does not work, at least not on a Mac where you ctrl T to hot key the comvert To /From canvas. I have an email back from the company that does indeed verify the graphic tools are missing in this version. Waiting on more information.
From there its like navigating in typical windows labyrinth of menu trees. But with some intuiton and graphics experience (fro me best from working with Adobe Illustrator) everything can be done.
Deep image analysis applying different filter families can be reached via the more… button.
On MacOS 13.2.1: Tap with 2 fingers and get menu with item: “Convert To/From Canvas” and you get this with the familiar graphics toolbar at the bottom:
That toolbar is missing many of the functions in the original graphics tools. For example, changing line color, opacity and thickness are not available on that toolbar. I’ll emphasize that Wolfram has verified the tool is missing.
