Tools Toolbar MS

The tools consist of various command groups. The tools having exclusively chemical meaning are drawn in black, while tools for drawing graphical objects are in blue.

You can place for example only ONE reaction arrow on the canvas, but as many graphical arrows as you wish and they will look completely identical.
