12.  Internal State Machine:
 Driven by Internal State Machine model:
• Receive and process incoming event
• Determine the new state
• Perform current state actions
• Enter idle state
 Analytic Geometry usage:
 Each symbol (shape or link) is described by a certain equation inside the Cartesian coordinates system
 DPTF automatically performs operations like transformations and intersections as response to GUI actions
 All operations are implemented as a set of formulas based on internal system of equations
 Internal Expressions model:
 Expressions model as an operator and a list of operands with each operand being an inner expression
 Interactive expressions with editable operands (const, edit, drop down list)
 Visual expressions representation in standard mathematical format (e.g.: division as a fraction)
