Recognize more shapes

The v7 is much better than v6. Cleaner design and everything looks snappier. But the problem many STEM students incl. me have is that it doesn’t really recognise / cannot produce the wave graph if I wanted to make one. We have to draw the graphs like sin functions etc quite quite often and at present have to resort to piecewise multiple lines and it takes much effort and time especially when making notes in the lecture. So in same way as you now added the arrow recognition and different forms it would be great to have the graph recognition too. It would extend the current curve piece along the lines

Give the opportunity to return the old interface!
Ivn Mrzv
I spend a lot of time in goodnotes, but what you did with the interface really pisses me off. Why can't I fix the toolbar in one place? Where is the ability to edit polygons normally (at least as it was before) In the new version I can no longer change the angles in a triangle normally when I think about geometry problems, you had a very cool feature that you simply killed in the new version (instead of developing it and making something like geogebra on minimal) by adding some stupid arrows and diagrams. Maybe not a large percentage of the application's users use it for math, physics and similar things, but at least give the opportunity to return everything to the way it was. (+ fix the memory leak bug already, often after 4+ hours of work big problems start)
