Jerry you are right. Currently the only "export" option is an alert box. I will improve that later. I had just the idea to advance the list of shortcut primitives like "rect" and "circle" and "ellipse". A "pie slice" primitive with the properties radius and angle would be nice. And ofcourse a regular polygon.
