Yes. Why would you imagine that objects couldn't move in whatever
arbitrary you want them to?

You shouldn't come here expecting people to tease your actual question
out of you. People help here for nothing; the least they can ask is that
those wanting help actually ask a clear question....

What is it?

How is your shape defined?
What API are you using?
What do you want to do with the moved shape?
