Description

Requested feature

It would be better if there are more shapes to draw like array, different kinds are stars, etc. In my opinion not having there shapes is the most weakness of drawing against ms-paint.

Possible alternatives

If you look at ms-paint's shapes, you can understand my mean.

Research direction
Investigate the current shape drawing implementation in the repository, likely in a file such as `tools/shape tool.py` or similar. Examine how existing shapes (rectangle, ellipse) are defined as classes and registered. Understand the rendering pipeline. Then design a new shape class for an array or star shape, following the same pattern. Check if there are any existing comments or issues discussing shape implementation details.
