Free-body diagram
Native free-body diagrams for mechanical, structural, and civil engineering. Declare bodies with `at x,y` positions and arbitrary force vectors with magnitudes, colours, and labels. Supports `moment` curved-arrow torques and an optional hatched `surface` line for incline / floor contexts. Renders in a true coordinate system so vectors are physically faithful.

Syntax at a glance
body B at 320,200 size 100,70 label "10 kg"
force W on B vector 0,140 color red label "W"
force N on B vector -55,-95 color blue label "N"Paste this in the Studio code pane to see Free-body diagram render live. The full grammar is at the upstream-docs link above.
