You can draw the following kinds of objects on Figures and Fit Plots:
Select appropriate instrument in the right part of toolbar to draw an object.
The properties of selected objects can be changed in the inspector toolbar (the second line of toolbar).
If you need to precisely draw some little objects you can zoom in the canvas using slider in right bottom (Pro only).
The button 1x
fits the canvas to the window.
Do not confuse the canvas zooming in and changing the X/Y scale.
Every object on Canvas
can be selected by clicking on its border or inside it. Hold Ctrl
key (Windows, Linux) or Shift
key (Mac OS) to add another object to current selection.
When you drag an object or change its size MagicPlot will try to snap the bounds of this object to other objects. While snapping MagicPlot shows you a red ruler and an object to which the bounds are snapping. If you do not want to align your objects this way, hold Ctrl
key to disable snapping.
