Dear @ixjlyons, thanks again for reporting your experiences here! It is always difficult to figure such usability issues out as the developer of the software. I addressed the proposed changes in the tutorial-doc-fix. Could you please tell me if the proposed changes resolve your issues (see https://github.com/Chilipp/straditize/pull/5#issuecomment-462488675).
Hello, here from the JOSS review openjournals/joss-reviews#1216
In this issue I'll just describe a couple stumbling points I came across in my testing of straditize. I think in both cases, a quick note in the docs at the right point would have been helpful.
It took me quite a while to figure out that you can disable the matplotlib pan and zoom controls by clicking on the corresponding button again. This made the instructions confusing in the beginner tutorial because I couldn't figure out how to select and drag the diagram boundary limits. I think the place to mention this would be here.
It also took some time to figure out that I need to click-and-hold on the wand toolbar button to get the submenu to show up like on this page. I don't think I've seen a user interface like that outside mobile applications -- is that the default behavior in Qt and is it the same for other platforms?
