This filter is a tool: You can create geometrical figures to add them to the image.
When using this filter, elements inserted in the image will be placed in a new layer. So the image will not be modified, all modifications occurring in this layer.
The Preview (with a horizontal and a vertical ruler) on the left of the main window actually is your working area where you are adding your figures.
You can add and modify figures using the Gfig tools (Gfig tool bar) and using the appropriate options (Gfig main window).
At the top of dialog, you can find a set of icons which represents the functions of this filter. Help pop-ups are explicit.

With this tool, you can create Bézier curves. Click on Preview to set start point and the other points: the curve will be created between these points. To end point creation press Shift key when creating last point.
Functions for object management
In the middle of tool bar, you can find tools to manage objects:
With this tool, you can move the active object. To enable an object, click on a control point created at the same time as the object.
With this tool, you can click-and-drag one of the control points created at the same time as object. Each of these points moves the object in a different way.
With this tool, you can duplicate an object. Click on an object control point and drag it to the wanted place.
Click on an object control point to delete it.
With this tool, you can select an object to active it. Simply click on one of its control points.
Functions for object organisation

If your window is too small to show all icons, the tool bar provides a drop-down list which offers you the missing functions. |
The XY position shows the position of your pointer.
If the selected tool provides some options (like number of sides), you can change them here.
If this option is checked, the object will be drawn. Two buttons are available, to select color and brush type. Changes to color or brush apply to existing objects too.
With help of this drop-down list, you can decide whether and how the object will be filled, with a color, a pattern or a gradient.
If this option is checked, a grid is applied on Preview to make object positioning easier.
If this option is checked, objects will align to the grid.
When this option is checked, the current image is displayed in Preview (working area).
