One thing I'd like to see on the next update is user default settings. The default settings can be set up when the user first installs the program, or can be set or reset at any time. The user default settings can be for things like the grid being turned on or off on each new mandala, grid size, the divisions, mandala size, size measurements (pixel, inch, millimetre, centimetre), etc.
Of course the user will be able to change them at any time while drawing a mandala, or if they do a new one and want different settings.
Another thing I'd like to see is where you can delete or undo a single shape without removing any of the shapes or items after it. This would be similar to the find/replace feature in Microsoft Word or Excel, where you can remove a single word from the document without removing all text entered after the word, or replace it with a different word altogether. The way I see this working is a "shape history" is kept, showing what shapes had been used in the mandala. The user can select the shape in the history, right-click on it, and tell the program to find where that shape had been applied, even if it has been altered (resized, rotated, and/or flipped). The shape can be highlighted in a different color, and the user can decide whether to remove that occurrence or not. They will click on "find" and it will highlight the first occurrence/use of that shape. Clicking on "next" shows the next occurrence, until the last occurrence is found. When they find that occurrence they wish to delete, they can click on "delete" and that occurrence will be deleted. This way, while drawing the mandala, or after, if a user decides they don't want a particular shape or doesn't like the way it looks, they can delete that one shape without undoing ten or twenty other steps in the process.
