 Navigation
 ----------
+
+The cairo library can both move the origin and the current point from
+which the next line is going to start. Boxes.py hides this by using
+Turtle Graphics commands that also move the origin to the end of the
+last line. Other drawing commands restore the current position after
+they are finished.
+
+Moving the origin like this allows ignoring the absolute coordinates
+and do all movement and drawing to be relative to the current
+position. The current positions does not only consist of a point on
+the drawing canvas but also a direction.
+
+To move the origin to a different location there are these to methods:
+
 .. automethod:: boxes.Boxes.moveTo
 .. automethod:: boxes.Boxes.moveArc
 
-**Boxes.ctx.save()** allows to save (among other things) the current position.
-**Boxes.ctx.restore()** restores the previously saved state. Always make sure
-to have balanced calls to those two functions.

+Often it is necessary to return to a position e.g. after placing a
+row of parts. This can be done with the following context manager:
 
 .. automethod:: boxes.Boxes.saved_context()
+
+It can be used with the following code pattern:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+   with self.saved_context:
+       self.rectangularWall(x, h, move="right")
+       self.rectangularWall(y, h, move="right")
+       self.rectangularWall(y, h, move="right")
+       self.rectangularWall(x, h, move="right")
+   self.rectangularWall(x, h, move="up only")
+
+   # continue above the row
+
+Parts of the code still directly use the cairo primitives **Boxes.ctx.save()**
+and **Boxes.ctx.restore()**. But this has several disadvantages and is
+discouraged. For one it requires matchiung calls. It also does not
+reset the starting point of the next line. This is "healed" by a
+follow up **.moveTo()**. Use **.moveTo(0, 0)** if in doubt.
