Shape Creator

This module is for - well - creating shapes :P
It lets you freely define any polygon by simply clicking on the canvas, defining vertices in order.

There is an option to use a grid which lets you more precisely place every vertex (on by default). When using the grid, you will see which cell your cursor is currently in and when clicked, a vertex will be automatically placed in the middle of the cell.

You may also choose to see the location of the shape's current centroid location (centroid is an important point for fitness evaluation of shapes).

You can also choose the shape's color (purely cosmetic feature, at least for currently defined fitness calculators) and invert the background color based on the shape's color for better visibility.

When you want to save a shape for later editing or for import into a GA initial population, you can use the Save shape feature. You can also load already existing shapes and edit them.
