Module draw

Traits and utilities for rendering custom windows

The traits and related structs in this module provide a way for rendering and managing simple graphical applications within Penrose itself. While definitely not what you would want to use for writing a full GUI application, the Draw and DrawContext traits are enough for setting up simple text based UI elements such as status bars and menus.
