The tool palette contains the following types of tools:
Use Layout Editor tools to create and manipulate items and graphic objects. The Select tool is the default tool. It allows you to select and manipulate objects and groups. To activate a different tool, click on its icon in the tool palette.
Clicking on a tool makes it the active tool for a single operation, and highlights the border around its icon. Double-clicking a tool icon pins that tool to make it the default tool, and its icon changes to show its pinned status.
To display a popup description of a tool, move the cursor over its icon without clicking the mouse.
