Ideas for future versions:
- Generate event when a user finishes a shape
- Add a "clear shapes" button
- Add a base URL config option so the images can be in a different directory without needing quite so many options.

Ideas for future versions:
- Use a single image sprite for th ebuttons to reduce the number of files.
- Seperate toolbar functionality from module so that so user can create custom toolbars.
- Add tie in for color picker or example in project of using a color picker.
- Test against Windows 8 JS control and ensure compatibility
- Add tie in for exiting edit mode i.e. ability to create custom button users can use to exit this mode.
- Add functionality for dragging the whole shape when editting. i.e. might want a circle to stay the same size but might want to reposition it.
