This project is a collaborative graphical editor where multiple users can create, modify, and delete shapes on a shared canvas in real time. Using a client-server architecture, the editor ensures updates are synchronized across all connected users. Shapes like ellipses, rectangles, segments, and polylines can be drawn and manipulated through an intuitive graphical interface.
- Ellipse: Customizable size and color.
- Rectangle: Customizable size and color
- Segment: Straight lines with adjustable endpoints and color.
- Freehand: Connected sequences of lines smoothly tracing the path of the mouse.
- Draw: Add shapes to the canvas.
- Recolor: Change the color of a specific shape.
- Move: Reposition existing shapes.
- Delete: Remove shapes permanently.
- Multiple users can connect to the canvas simultaneously.
- Updates are synchronized instantly, ensuring consistency for all users.
- Provides a graphical interface for users.
- Includes tools for drawing, selecting, and editing shapes.
- Manages the shared canvas state.
- Ensures synchronization across all clients.
- Facilitates interaction between the server and clients using a structured protocol.
- Messages specify actions like
draw,move, anddelete, along with shape details.
- Start the server to host the shared canvas.
- Connect clients to the server. Each client represents a user editing the canvas.
- Draw and edit shapes using the tools in the graphical interface.
- Real-time synchronization ensures that all users see the same updates.
