## Workspace

The Animation editor is used to create and edit the animations of the project. The graphic workspace contains the rulers, guide lines, OnionSkin image, current sprite image, contact boxes, sprite axis cross, frame axis cross and the extra cross. Some of these can be enabled/disabled in the View menu.

You can change the position of the image by dragging it to the desirable position. The guide lines, contact boxes and the frame axis can be placed in the same way. All other points will move the axis and background image.

The contact boxes (CLSNs) are handled in a special way. You can select multiple boxes holding Ctrl or Shift keys, remove all selected boxes pressing the Delete key, move by 1px pressing the arrow keys and cut/copy/paste them.

In the CLSN creation mode, you can add new boxes by simply drawing it on the screen. While you keep in this mode, you can draw many CLSNs you want, including over another existing one. To exit this mode, right-click on the graphic workspace or disable one of the creation options. When you exit this mode, the last box you drawn will be selected.

The zoom can be changed using the mouse wheel.
