Canvas

What it is

A canvas is an infinite board. Cards on it hold text; lines between cards show relations you draw yourself. Where a note is a page and the graph is computed, a canvas is a picture you arrange by hand.

Using it

• New canvas — the + next to Canvases at the bottom of the file list, or the palette.
• Add a card — Text card / Note card in the canvas toolbar (top-left).
• Move / resize — drag a card; drag its bottom-right corner.
• Connect — click a card, then ⇧-click the card to link it to.
• Edit — double-click a text card and type; Esc finishes.
• Delete — select a card and press ⌫ (its lines go with it).

Canvases save as they change and open in a tab like a note. Settings → Canvas chooses the background (dots, grid or blank).
