Feb 2 2023: Ahren:

• Started step 1, to create segments for squares on the vertices
• Finished the segment generation
• Finished average color generation
• Feature is technically done, but there is too much debt, so it needs fixing
  • Currently, all vertices are stored in a list that does not check for duplicates
  • All segments are referring to vertex indexes instead of the vertex.
  • Code is messy and hard to understand
  • Needs to be optimized, but do not know whether we can edit the vertex since the prof wants us to use the IO

Feb 6 2023: Ahren:

• Updated README with new features to implement this week.
• Fixed the visualizer code to look more readable, and added a couple more methods to get a thickness value from a vertex, segment, or polygon
