Canvas
In the middle of the window, there is a rectangle area called canvas.
In the canvas, you can modify the size, position or the rotation angle of the elements.

Select an element
Only the selected elements can be resized or repositioned. To select an element, click it on the canvas with the mouse.

Reposition an element
If you want to reposition a selected element, click it and move the mouse while holding its left button down, release it when you are satisfied with the element’s position.

Change the size/ the rotation angle of an element
There are nine buttons around the selected element for you to adjust its size and angle. If you want to resize a selected element, click the Resize button and move the mouse while holding its left button down, release it when you are satisfied with the element’s size. To rotate a selected element, click the Rotate button and move the mouse while holding its left button down, release it when you are satisfied with the element’s angle.

Context Menu
This menu shows up when you click the canvas or the elements with the right mouse button.

Copy: to copy the selected element to the clipboard
Paste: to paste the elements from the clipboard on the upper left corner of the canvas and put them on the top layer.
Up: to shift the selected element one layer up

Snap to element: to enable/ disable the function of snapping to an element. This function is similar to a small gravitational field that attracts the anchor points of an element when the user drags the element on the canvas. With this function enabled, when you move a selected element on the anchor points of an unselected element, every anchor point of the selected one will snap to those on the unselected one.
