# 1.40 move

    move <item number> to <vector> [ rotate <angle> ]

The `move` command allows vector graphics objects to be moved around on the current multiplot canvas. All vector graphics objects placed on multiplot canvases receive unique identification numbers which count sequentially from one, and which may be listed using the `list` command. The item to be moved should be specified using its identification number. The example

    move 23 to 8,8

would move multiplot item 23 to position centimeters. If this item were a plot, the end result would be the same as if the command `set origin 8,8` had been executed before it had originally been plotted.
