You can click the panel to create various objects as specified by the ListBoxes and ComboBoxes on the left and right. Objects have from 1 to 4 vertices. When you change color options, they are implemented on the current shape and future shapes. However, if you change shape after giving the current figure any points, you will need to complete it before the new shape is implemented.
Note: when drawing multiple points objects, the sketch starts the drawing by using the points it currently has available. I.e. a line is drawn after the second point is clicked, and a triangle is drawn after the third point even if the final figure is a quadrilateral.
The sketch remembers the last 10 figures drawn.
