Remarks

When printed it maintains its actual proportions to the surrounding graphics. This API method respects the axes angle setting. This means that the x, y and z positions are interpreted within the axes and all new items created will align to the axes angle. If a group is open, graphics are added to the group, otherwise a new item is created.
