## 3.3.5 Manipulating Objects

GroupObjects([list])
  Groups the Objects in ``list'' together. ``list'' must contain the Names of the Objects to be grouped. If ``list'' is not given the currently selected Items are used.
MoveObject(dx, dy, [``name''])
  Moves the Object ``name'' by dx and dy relative to its origin. The Distances are expressed in the actual Measurement Unit of the Document. If ``name'' is not given the currently selected Item is used. If the Object ``name'' belongs to a Group, the whole Group is moved.
MoveObjectAbs(x, y, [``name''])
  Moves the Object ``name'' to a new Location. The Coordinates are expressed in the actual Measurement Unit of the Document. If ``name'' is not given the currently selected Item is used. If the Object "name" belongs to a Group, the whole Group is moved.
RotateObject(rot, [``name''])
  Rotates the Object ``name'' by ``rot'' Degrees. Positve Values mean counter clockwise Rotation. If ``name'' is not given the currently selected Item is used.
RotateObjectAbs(rot, [``name''])
  Sets the Rotation of the Object ``name'' to ``rot''. Positve Values mean counter clockwise Rotation. If ``name'' is not given the currently selected Item is used.
ScaleGroup(factor, [``name''])
  Scales the Group the Object ``name'' belongs to. Values greater than 1 enlarge the Group, Values smaller than 1 make the Group smaller e.g a Value of 0.5 scales the Group to 50 % of is original Size, a Value of 1.5 scales the Group to 150 % of its original Size. The Value for ``factor'' must be greater than 0. If ``name'' is not given the currently selected Item is used.
SizeObject(width, height, [``name''])
  Resizes the Object ``name'' to the given Width and Height. If ``name'' is not given the currently selected Item is used.
