To run, unzip to the desired directory. Run "CUtraceGUI.m" for the graphical user interface (GUI). A second file, "CUtrace.m," is for programmatic tracing of a ShapeList instantiation without the GUI. Two examples are included that can be loaded into the GUI, or instantiated directly into a "ShapeList" object.
