Blocks are dragged from the palette onto the canvas surface. To dispose of a block, drag it back onto the palette.
The palettes can be displayed horizontally or vertically (See below). Orientation is adjusted by clicking on the [[Image:TAorientation0.svg]] and [[Image:TAorientation1.svg]] buttons on the upper-left corner of the palette. The palette can be hidden by clicking on the [[Image:TAhide.svg]] button on the lower-right corner of the palette. The next palette in the menu can be accessed by clicking on the [[Image:TAnext.svg]] button on the upper-right corner of the palette.
