Graphics Module

You are welcome to look over the code in graphics.py, but do not worry about the details of the implementation. More information about the library can be found here. For methods involving color, you can look here for color options. In your code, you will (minimally) make use of the following methods from this module:

Graphics Function or Method	Behavior
`GraphWin(title, width, height)`	Constructs a new graphics window (or GraphWin) for drawing on the screen. The parameters are optional; the default title is “Graphics Window,” and the default size is 200 x 200 pixels. Example: `win = GraphWin("Boggle", 400, 400)`
`getMouse()`	Pauses (or blocks) and waits for the user to click their mouse in the window and returns where the mouse was clicked as a `Point` object (a tuple, with `x` and `y` values). Example: `click_point = win.getMouse()`
`Point(x, y)`	Constructs a Point having the given coordinates. Example: `a_point = Point(3.5, 8)`
`pt.getX()` and `pt.getY()`	Returns the x and y coordinate of a Point, respectively. Example: `x_val = a_point.getX()` and `y_val = a_point.getY()`
`Rectangle(point1, point2, fillcolor)`	Constructs a Rectangle having opposite corners at point1 (top left) and point2 (bototm right). Example: `aRect = Rectangle(Point(1, 3), Point(4, 7), "white")`
`rect.setFillColor(color)`	Sets the fill color of the Rectangle to `color` (a string). Example: `a_rect.setFillColor("pink")`
`rect.getFillColor()`	Gets the fill color of the Rectangle (as a string). Example: `var = a_rect.getFillColor()`
`Text(anchor_point, text_string)`	Constructs a Text object that displays `text_string` centered at `anchor_point`. The text is displayed horizontally. Example: `message = Text(Point(3,4), "Hello!")`
`txt.setText(string)`	Sets the text of the Text object to `string`. Example: `message.setText("Goodbye!")`
`txt.getText()`	Gets the text of the Text object (as a string). Example: `var = message.getText()`
`txt.setTextColor(color)`	Sets the color of the Text to `color` (a string). Note: `setFill(color)` has the same effect on Text objects. Example: `message.setTextColor("pink")`
`txt.getTextColor()`	Gets the color of the Text (as a string). Note: `setFill(color)` has the same effect on Text objects. Example: `var = message.getTextColor()`
`TextRect(rect, text)`	Constructs a `TextRect` (a `Rectangle` and a `Text` instance grouped together into one object)
`textrect.setFillColor(color)`	Sets the fill color of the TextRect to `color` (a string). Example: `textrect.setFillColor("pink")`
`textrect.getFillColor(color)`	Gets the fill color of the TextRect (as a string). Example: `var = textrect.getFillColor()`
`textrect.getText()`	Gets the text of the TextRect’s Text object (as a string). Example: `var = textrect.getText()`
`textrect.setTextColor(color)`	Sets the color of the TextRect’s Text to `color` (a string). Example: `textrect.setTextColor("pink")`

Feel free to check out the documentation for other methods that you may find helpful as you customize your implementation.
