• Cooler examples: Fractals such as Apollonian gasket, Sierpinski triangles, Fibonacci spirals?

• Font configuration: Configure a text-type, and have it auto-apply whenever text is drawn (similar to this)

• Some way to generate schematics, even if they are terrible and just have each component drawn out separtely, with small wires and net names on each port.

• Place components on path: tool for placing evenly-spaced footprints along a path

• ‘Fill’ region with equally-spaced or patterned components
