DESCRIPTION

This is a JavaFX-based drawing application

The backend handles figures (e.g., rectangles, squares) as abstract, logic-only entities with operations like:

• Move
• Resize
• Color
• Divide (width, height)
• Mirror
• Apply visual effects

The frontend renders those figures using JavaFX and provides an interactive menu bar, mouse handling, and a canvas pane.

---

FEATURES

✔ Draw and manipulate figures with the mouse
✔ Apply effects: lighten, darken, mirror(horizontal/vertical)
✔ Divide figures into parts (width-wise, height-wise)
✔ Menu system
✔ Clean MVC-like separation (backend logic vs frontend rendering)

HOW TO RUN

1. Compile the project using any Java IDE or command line

• Designed for academic use — not yet optimized for large-scale figures or persistent storage
