 === Changing Canvas origin ===
-Par default, the origin (the point with x = 0 and y = 0 coordinate) for new created {{l|Canvas}} is set visually to the center. Adjusting the {{Literal|Top Left (x,y)}} and {{Literal|Bottom Right (x, y)}} coordinate without changing the difference between the two point (the vector), you can translate the Canvas origin.
