AI Drawing Prompt Reference

Please draw a diagram that demonstrates the geometric interpretation of complex number addition. First, represent two complex numbers as vectors, then perform complex number addition using the parallelogram rule. Specific steps are as follows: create two complex vectors representing two complex numbers; use these two complex numbers to perform an addition operation, resulting in a new complex number; also represent this resultant complex number as a vector; finally, draw segments from the original complex numbers to the resultant complex number.
The prompt above was compiled from the original drawing commands and is for reference only.
