## \addtogroup DRAFT
#
#  This module offers a range of tools to create and manipulate basic 2D objects
#
#  The module allows to create 2D geometric objects such as line, rectangle, circle,
#  etc, modify these objects by moving, scaling or rotating them, and offers a couple of
#  other utilities to manipulate further these objects, such as decompose them (downgrade)
#  into smaller elements.
#
#  The functionality of the module is divided into GUI tools, usable from the
#  FreeCAD interface, and corresponding python functions, that can perform the same
#  operation programmatically.
