/**
 * ExcalidrawAutomate is a utility class that provides a simplified API to interact with Excalidraw elements and the Excalidraw canvas.
 * Elements in the Excalidraw Scene are immutable. You should never directly change element properties in the scene object.
 * ExcalidrawAutomate provides a "workbench" where you can create, modify, and delete elements before committing them to the Excalidraw Scene.
 * The basic workflow is to create elements in ExcalidrawAutomate and once ready commit them to the Excalidraw Scene using addElementsToView().
 * To modify elements in the scene, you should first copy them over to EA using copyViewElementsToEAforEditing, make the necessary modifications,
 * then commit them back to the scene using addElementsToView().
 * To delete an element from the view set element.isDeleted = true and commit the changes to the scene using addElementsToView().
 * 
 * At a very high level, EA has 3 type of functions:
 * - functions that modify elements in the EA workbench
 * - functions that access elements and properties of the Scene
 *   - these only work if targetView is set using setView()
 *   - Scripts executed by the Excalidraw ScritpEngine will have the targetView set automatically
 *   - These functions include the word view in their name e.g. getViewSelectedElements()
 * - utility functions that do not modify eleeemnts in the EA workbench or access the scene e.g.
 *   - ea.obsidian is a utility function that returns the Obsidian Module object.
 *   - eg.getCM() returns the ColorMaster object for manipulationg colors,
 *   - ea.help() provides information about functions and properties in the ExcalidrawAutomate class intended for use in Developer Console
 *   - checkAndCreateFolder (thought this has been superceeded by app.vault.createFolder in the Obsidian API)
 *   - etc.
 * 
 * Note that some actions are asynchronous and require await to complete. e.g.: 
 *   - addImage()
 *   - convertStringToDataURL()
 *   - etc.
 * 
 * About the Excalidraw Automate Script Engine:
 * --------------------------------------------
 * Excalidraw Scripts utilize ExcalidrawAutomate. When the script is invoked Excalidraw passes an ExcalidrawAutomate instance to the script.
 * you may access this object via the variable `ea`. e.g. ea.addImage(); This ea object is already set to the targetView.
 * Through ea.obsidian all of the Obsidian API is available to the script. Thus you can create modal views, open files, etc.
 * You can access Obsidian type definitions here: https://github.com/obsidianmd/obsidian-api/blob/master/obsidian.d.ts
 * In addition to the ea instance, the script also receives the `utils` object. utils includes to utility functions: suggester and inputPrompt.
 * You may access these via the variable `utils`. e.g. utils.suggester(...);
 *   - inputPrompt(inputPrompt: (
 *       header: string,
 *       placeholder?: string,
 *       value?: string,
 *       buttons?: ButtonDefinition[],
 *       lines?: number,
 *       displayEditorButtons?: boolean,
 *       customComponents?: (container: HTMLElement) => void,
 *       blockPointerInputOutsideModal?: boolean,
 *     ) => Promise<string>;
 *   -  displayItems: string[],
 *       items: any[],
 *       hint?: string,
 *       instructions?: Instruction[],
 *     ) => Promise<any>;
