The Design Canvas displays the content and the attributes of an opened design graphically, and it allows browsing and manipulating of the design objects. The Design Canvas is displayed in Figure 3-2.
The canvas supports modifying the layout and attributes of the design via drag-and-drop and through a context menu. Dragging objects from the Database Window adds an object to the design. Dragging objects within the Design Canvas repositions the object accordingly. Deletion, renaming, adding and removing ports, as well as viewing properties are accessed via the context menu and available dependent upon the type of object currently selected (see Section 4.2).
