      • decimal: (1.2, 3.4)
      • negative: (-1.2, -3.4)
    • Shapes

      • line
      • rect
      • circle, ellipse

  • Rotation

    • Shapes
      • path
      • polyline/polygon
      • line

      • polyline/polygon
      • rect -> polygon/path?

CSS styling

Need to check whether style element already exists and whether class names already exist.
Ideally find most efficient way to class elements for styling.
