Figure drawing (2.3): the new  block renders plane geometric figures from a description alone — the shape is named, its measurements given, and coordinates are computed trigonometrically and emitted as hard TikZ numbers. It covers triangles by every classical definition, quadrilaterals (square, rectangle, rhombus, parallelogram, trapezoid, kite), regular polygons by name or point count, and circles (by centre and radius, circumscribed through three points, or inscribed). Equal-side and right-angle marks and per-side length labels are opt-in, with single and double ticks telling apart pairs of different lengths. Composite figures share points and edges; loops, rotation and low-level point and line primitives allow free-form drawings.
