                 The Editor window allows editing of a symbol using the available tools. It consists
                 of a grid providing snap points and shows a preferred size guide which allows symbols
                 to be created to a consistent size. The size of the grid, the number of elements and
                 the preferred size guide are all configurable.
             </para>
             <para>
                 The editor provides guidelines for positioning points relative to existing points.
                 The guides are positioned on the horizontal, vertical and diagonal vectors from an
                 existing point and also on a circular reference around the center of the grid.

                 The library window shows representations of the symbols contained in the library. The
                 symbol currently being edited is shown highlighted. Selecting a symbol will open it
                 in the editor so that it can be modified.
             </para>
             <para>
                 It is possible to open several instances of the SymbolEditor application and copy
                 symbols from one library to another using drag and drop. Ensure that both library
                 windows are visible, then click and drag the required symbol from one library window
                 to the other. The symbol will then be appended to the target library.
