AI Drawing Prompt Reference

First construct a quadrilateral in the plane using four base points, then use the midpoints of two diagonals to define a vertical reference and determine upper corner points, forming the top polygonal outline. Take the relevant point-in/diagonal intersection as a center point. Around the four base points draw four equal-radius circles, compute their intersection points with the corresponding lines, and connect the resulting intersection pairs by circular arcs to form a symmetric outer boundary. Create mirror images of the four base points and of the upper semicircular/arc components across a single central line, so the left and right halves correspond. Add the remaining mirrored semicircle arcs in the lower area, draw segments joining each point with its mirror counterpart to show alignment, and include an auxiliary dividing segment. Shade or label the two area regions corresponding to integrals between the left/right curve bounds using the same x-intervals.
