\subsubsection{The Canvas}  The middle section is the primary interaction area and displays the current diagram and its title. The user can add elements to the diagram in two ways: using the shortcuts described in section \ref{sect:shortcuts}, or by dragging and element from the toolbar on the right and dropping it on somewhere on the grid.Note that when the element is placed, the application will try to merge the two anchors with any overlaps in order to fit it in the diagram.  It is important to note that the user can hold the spacebar down while dragging in order to pan around the canvas and can scroll with his/her wheel in order to zoom in/out accordingly.For more information on the shortcuts available to the user see section \ref{sect:shortcuts}.  \subsubsection{Item Palette / Element Configuration}
