Elements & Shapes

The Magic Element generative engine, vector shapes, and sticker illustrations.

Press S on your keyboard or click the Elements icon on the left toolbar to open the Elements palette.

The Elements panel brings together three expressive visual capabilities: the Magic Element generative engine, the Vector Shape Catalog, and the Sticker Library.

1. The Magic Element (live)

The Magic Element lets you embed interactive HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and WebGL mini-programs directly onto your canvas surface:

  • Interactive Simulations: Render orbital models (such as the Bohr-Rutherford Carbon Atom model), gravity wells, and dynamic particle systems.
  • Real-Time Telemetry & Spline Charts: Display dynamically calculated data plots, financial projections, and interactive metric graphs.
  • Embedded Mini-Tools: Custom sliders, calculators, color pickers, and live utility components that respond instantly to user interaction.
  • Live Code Execution: Write standard HTML, modern CSS, and JavaScript in the left code drawer and watch the live preview render instantly on the right.

2. Vector Shapes

Umbra includes an extensive library of geometric shapes designed for system architecture, flowcharts, logic trees, and mind maps:
