The Tile Erasers remove full and fractional tiles. You can erase small or large areas easily by changing the tool size.

Tile Shape Tools

Shapes can be drawn easily with the Tile Shape tools.

Fill Tools

With the fill tools you can fill any closed shape or area with a selected color, fill any closed shape with a random arrangement of selected colors, and erase all the tiles of one color in any closed shape or area.

Fractional Tile Tools

Use the fractional tile tools to draw half, quarter and offset tiles.

Border Line tools

The Border Line tools allow you to manually place a border (i.e. a thin line) around a chart or around a label.

Label tools

The Label Tools allow you to place an area of solid white on your chart so that text placed on it will be more legible. You can choose whether or not this label has a border line around it by selecting the appropriate icon.
