clone is one element of the mosaic.

Apart from the Rectangle, there is another type of Primitive with some 'special properties'. It can
be found at the end of the list called 'Drawn Shape'.
You can use this type of Primitive Object to create one or two sided shapes. You can either
choose from several predefined shapes or draw a closed contour by creating the control points of
a Cardinal spline.
You create the control points by double clicking inside the window. At least four control points are
needed for the spline to be drawn as the outline of the shape. Control points can be deleted by
right-clicking on them with the mouse, and their position can be adjusted by dragging them to
their desired position. It is probably easier to create more precise shapes by using the snap
function. If this is turned on, the control points are always snapped to the nearest position on the
grid. The grid itself can also be adjusted by setting the distance of the elements of the grid (see
above).
