This is delightful fun, but suffers a bit from Mystery Meat Navigation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_meat_navigation#Iconog... ) The pencil and eraser I get, and I thought one of the controls was Undo, but that one seems to be a toggle? And I have no idea what the last one is.

Toggles symmetry. Def not obvious.

Pretty cool! Could use a way to clear without needing to manually erase

This is not how a 9patch works…. It’s currently a 2 patch boring auto rotating and flipping border

You can have a real 9 patch if you disable symmetry. It's not obvious, but it's the lower-left icon.
