Dungeon Connect: "Line Segemtent" Map Making

Dungeon Connect emulates some common features found in drawing tools; such as creating line segments between “points” where the points can be moved or added to change the overall shape and dimensions of the drawing. This allows for a map making experience that is somewhat like drawing a map in an image editing program.

There are lots of limitations since we don’t have canvas select at this time; still Dungeon Connect is a flexible and forgiving API solution to map making on Roll20.

GM Layer

The Dungeon Connect API is designed so the map can be created and edit from the "GM layer." This reduces the need to switch between layer during the process of map creation.
