NOTES

generally, but not universally, if the js ends with ; it is by chatgpt and if left empty it is by me


to-do: 

make layer panels expand ►  / collapse ▼

put geometryobjects into a panel GEOMETRY is on the same level as nested models 

make spacer variable and function names specific to the vertical spacer to allow creating a horizontal spacer in the control panel

rebuild camera controls - request animation frame / holding down for too long without Raf start to flood ram?
make image frame match current svg width. maybe max ratio for the very thing windows?
make background match image frame
svg targets to groups canvas-draw-layer, canvas background, canvas foreground


store svg styles in the index.html canvas object for svg css to work ??

not sure how to word this howeverrr
instead of camera it is a view object (perspective, orthographic, stereo, 2d & 3d)
a camera instead is a model with a 3d model that aligns with a view


add import data, start with ascci only

simplify SVG icons, currently limited using them as img references
make one file that has all the svgs and write them into the app as well

layerSummary()  - if (property) then "property: property.length" // not sure where i was going with this one

make command line functions
make a list of all commands
route all gui functions thru this command list

add dark/light mode toggle
