Quadrant : Snaps that cling to the quadrant of curved 1D objects (Circle, Arc, Ellipse).
Nearest : Snaps to arbitrary locations within 0D, 1D, and 2D objects.
Intersection : Snaps clinging to intersections between 1D-1D or 1D-2D objects.
Division : Snaps that cling to the division position of 1D object which is accordingly set by the number of divisions (Except for cases in a Circle, an Ellipse, or a Spline)
