TODO

Currently the module is very rough and supports very few operations:

• drawing and connecting rails by left-clicking and dragging mouse on the canvas.
• removing a node by right-clicking on it on the canvas.
• placing a train on a rail by middle-clikcing on a rail on the canvas.
• support for more than one train
• changing switch exits by double-clicking on it.
• saving / loading to a file

The amount of work needed is much more vast and includes (but not limited to):

• adding coaches to trains
• rc-file for the application
• better interface (what about one-button mice?)
• available help
• etc...
