A figure consists of 'segments' (lines, circles or images) connected in a treelike structure by pivoting joints. Click and drag the red handle at the end of each segment with the mouse cursor to rotate it around its pivot and all the segments connected to it. Click and drag the orange 'origin' handle to move the whole figure. In this way you can easily adjust the pose of a figure to any position you want while keeping the proportions of the figure constant. More advanced figure positioning options are described on the Positioning Figures page.
When unselected, all figure handles will be displayed in blue. A figure can be selected by clicking on it anywhere. Rotating the mouse wheel while holding down the Ctrl key will also change the selected figure.

Full details for the options are shown on the Positioning Figures page.
