// Try now to point on any object on the screen: pad, text, lines, etc.
// When the cursor points to sensitive areas in an object, the cursor
// shape changes and suggests the type of action that can be applied.
//
// For example, one can move, grow,shrink a pad.
// A text can be moved.
// A line can be moved or its end points can be modified.
// One can move, grow and shrink PaveLabels and PavesText.
// Point to an object and click the right mouse button to change attributes.
// Try to change the canvas size.
// In the canvas "File" menu, select the option "Print" to produce
// a PostScript file with a copy of the canvas.
