Whether you're a professional in need of a graphing tool or an enthusiast looking to graph your latest home project, Structure is for you. ## Features There are multiple objects that can be added to a graph. Square - A square is a four sided shape that has four lines at 90 degree angles. Dragging a corner will scale the shape in both height and width. Shape - A shape is dynamic and can have any number of points. By default, a shape has four points. Double tapping a line will add an additional point. Points can also be removed by tapping a line and then using the action menu in the bottom right corner of the screen. Dragging a corner will not impact the other corners in the shape.

Text - A text label can be added to the graph, with a limit of 32 characters. Rectangles and structures each have an option to name a graph, which creates a text label within the shape.

Objects - Objects can be added to indicate real-world items, such as trees, bushes, flowers and more. New objects are being added with each new release. Objects for the interior and exterior of a home are coming soon.
