For each section and each line the positions are shown and can be edited.

Define Sections

Section areas can be edited by changing the position of the lines of by merging adjacent sections.
Changing the position of a line can be done by selecting the line and change the horizontal (X-pos) or vertical (Y-pos) position.
When moving a line it may not pass another line.

Lines can be split on intersections with other line. This can be done by double clicking a line. Intersecting lines are shown.

Formats

A frame is developed in A4 portrait, but can be applied for plots in A4 and A3 formats, portrait and landscape both. When applying in A3 landscape format, size of the frame texts remains unchanged, but the outer frame is extended.
When switching to another orientation, the whole frame is rotated 90 degrees clockwise, see examples below.
