You can directly manipulate the items in the Canvas to modify their physical attributes
such as position, scale, and rotation, or use familiar drag-and-drop techniques to apply
behaviors or filters directly to the items in the Canvas. See “
Using Behaviors” on
page 317, and “
Using Filters” on page 701 to learn more about how to use these
features.
