Features and functions
Graphics Toolbox has a wealth of functions and applications to enhance and color your daily life. Each detailed icon depicts its function, which makes learning and recalling the uses of the tools fast and easy.
In contrast to other complicated graphics programs, Graphics Toolbox has no wordy definitions and intricate procedures to learn. Our tools were
designed to be logical and intuitive, resulting in the least amount of steps possible.
Our manual illustrates the use of each tool in careful detail, but this page gives a thorough overview of the important features and how they can be applied in your life.
