1. How to Run the product?

The main entrance is from the "DrawingPanel.mxml", run it.

And then you may see the drawing canvas with a setting panel on the left corner.

Two ways to user the application:

1. Click on the setting panel
2. right click the mouse

1.1 Setting Panel:

a. You may drag it anywhere on the canvas.
b. Choose to open the video file.
c. Select to draw "line", "rectangle", "ellipse", and configure the
color/thickness.
d. Press the "clear" button to clear the canvas.

The reason I use toolbar like "setting panel" is to let user eaier to configure
the draw settings, it follows the way of other popular drawing softwares, etc.
mspainter, photoshop. And user could drag it anywhere. I did consider to add
the "close" button for the setting panel, but it will then introduce the way to
reopen it, which makes the tool complicated. So the idea is out.

1.2 Drawing:
After setting the shape, color/thickness, user could draw by mouse on the canvas.
Right clicking on the blank panel will show the pie menu to configure just like
the setting panel.

User could select a object by mouse, right click to change the "style" or "remove"
the object. Also user could press "Del" button on keyboard to remove the object.

Most likely user will configure the setting using the panel, the pie menu is more
easy to change the style of the object.
And the key idea of the drawing canvas is "Simple" and "Flexible", user could draw
anywhere and whatever they want.

1.3 Video Panel:

If user choose to open a video, it will then show the video panel with the video
displaying, user could play, pause, rewind, forward, stop it by pressing the
button or right click the mouse.

Click the "x" to close the window.

For this video panel is supposed to be light widget of the whole application, I
just keep it easy to use and simple.

1.4 Others
The application is self-documentin, there are "tooltips" of key component. And
indicator on the object when it is selected.
