1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an input configured to receive user instructions for forming graphics in a drawing area based on user instructions;
a processor configured to cause;
in response to addition or changing of a first graphical object, forming an interaction zone around the first graphical object an interaction zone for a continuation period; and
detecting if a second graphical object is drawn starting from the interaction zone during the continuation period and changing the first graphical object by merging the second graphical object to the first graphical object, in response to positive detection.

Abstract
A method, apparatus and computer program for forming graphics in a drawing area based on user instructions. In response to addition or changing of a first graphical object, an interaction zone is formed around the first graphical object for a given continuation period. It is detected if a second graphical object is drawn starting from the interaction zone during the continuation period and if yes, the first graphical object is changed by merging the second graphical object with the first graphical object.
