Component Shape Guide

Inside MeshMap, the allocation of specific shapes to signify various purposes creates a coherent and intelligible visual representation of intricate designs. Currently, the circle is used as the default shape for new components.

Although the usage of the components is divided into categories, some shapes serve as a universal representation of particular components.

Below are all the shapes with their current usage in a general context.
