# Moving/Dragging

You can use `BoxTransformer.move` to translate a box by some amount of pixels.

```dart title="Moving a box"
  final Box rect = Box.fromLTWH(50, 50, 100, 100);
  final MoveResult result = BoxTransformer.move(
    initialRect: rect,
    initialLocalPosition: Vector2.zero(),
    localPosition: Vector2.zero(),
  );

  result.position; // the new position of the box
```
`BoxTransformer.move` returns a `MoveResult` that contains information about the new position of the box.
`result.position` is a `Vector2` that defines the new position of the box.

## Limiting movements

You can limit the movements by providing `clampingRect` to `BoxTransformer.move` to limit the movements to a specific
area.

```dart title="Limiting movements"
  final Box rect = Box.fromLTWH(50, 50, 100, 100);
  final MoveResult result = BoxTransformer.move(
    initialRect: rect,
    initialLocalPosition: Vector2.zero(),
    localPosition: Vector2.zero(),
    clampingRect: Box.fromLTWH(0, 0, 1000, 1000),
  );

  result.position; // the new position of the box
```
