Epic Pen for Linux v2.0.0 is a desktop screen overlay drawing tool, interactive
whiteboard/chalkboard studio, laser pointer, and vector SVG annotation exporter
built natively with Python 3 and PyQt5 for Linux desktops.

KEY FEATURES:
• Real Live Desktop Screen Overlay, Chalkboard & Whiteboard Ink Studio: Captures the live desktop screen via X11/Wayland (QGuiApplication.primaryScreen().grabWindow(0)) or switches to Dark Grid Chalkboard and Pure Whiteboard canvases with 12 vivid neon ink colors and 2px..32px brush widths.
• 8 Interactive Vector Drawing Tools: Smooth Bezier Pen Ink, Semi-Transparent Highlighter Marker, Fading Glow Laser Pointer Trail, Arrow/Connector, Rectangle/Ellipse Shapes, Numbered Step Counter Stamps (1, 2, 3...), Callout Text Annotations, and Interactive Stroke Eraser with full Undo/Redo stack.
• Vector Stroke Layer Inspector & Standalone SVG / Transparent PNG Exporter: Inspects every vector stroke object (Stroke ID, Tool Type, HEX Color, Width, Bounding Box WxH, Vertex Count, Timestamp), toggles visibility or deletes individual layers, and exports standard XML .svg, Transparent Overlay .png, and .epicpen.json session files to /tmp/epic-pen-studio.
