Hi Bart, nice work !

I consider to start using this to create a simple GUI. I did a quick scan of your help pages but did not (yet) find an answer to my question:

Is it possible to add a shape to an existing drawing, triggered by an incoming message? For example can I add a data point (a colored cirlcle) with the color and position specified in the incoming message? Or should shapes always be already present ("hard-coded") in the drawing?

Hi @goofy2k it is right there in the readme...
