Buttons for moving Objects

These buttons operate on selected items. This can either be done by choosing the mode in question and manipulating single atoms, or by selecting multiple items with the lasso and switching into the desired mode for performing the operation.


This buttone lets you move selected objects in the xy plane. When two atoms overlap (or nearly overlap) while moving they get marked. If you release the mouse button while atoms are marked, these will be merged.

The algorithms behind this button are provided by the controller.Controller2D class.
