An array of geometry layers with which to initialize the drawing tools.
shape
String, optional
The shape to draw. One of the following: point, line, polygon, or rectangle. Defaults to polygon.
selected
ui.Map.GeometryLayer, optional
The selected geometry layer. Defaults to null.
shown
Boolean, optional
When false, hides the drawing tools or, when true, shows the shape selector and allows the list panel's visibility to be determined by the presence of geometry layers in the list. Defaults to true.
linked
Boolean, optional
Whether the drawing tools are linked to the geometries in the imports pane. When false, the tools do not display imported geometries. Defaults to false.

It accepts optional parameters: `layers` to initialize with geometry layers, `shape` to set the drawing shape (point, line, polygon, rectangle, default: polygon), `selected` to specify a selected geometry layer, `shown` to control tool visibility (default: true), and `linked` to link to imported geometries (default: false). This function returns `ui.Map.DrawingTools`, allowing for map interaction through shape drawing.\n"]]
