/// Example of primitives in a canvas.
/// One of the first actions in a ROOT session is the creation of a Canvas.
/// Here we create a Canvas named "c1".
///
/// After having executed this macro, try now to point on any object on the
/// screen: pad, text, lines, etc.
///
/// When the cursor points to sensitive areas in an object, the cursor
/// shape changes and suggests the type of action that can be applied.
///
/// For example:
///  - One can move, grow,shrink a pad.
///  - A text can be moved.
///  - A line can be moved or its end points can be modified.
///  - One can move, grow and shrink PaveLabels and PavesText.
///
/// Point to an object and click the right mouse button to change attributes.
/// Try to change the canvas size.
///
/// In the canvas "File" menu, select the option "Print" to produce
/// a PostScript file with a copy of the canvas.
