Building a Digital Clock

Digital clocks are constructed in a similar way to analogue clocks, but instead
of hands, the additional components are the digits, 0 - 9 and a separator.

When a digital clock is selected, an extra box becomes visible on the main
screen showing the digit and time separator widths.

The reference points for each digit should typically be set to the bottom left
of the digit. The crosshairs adapt with digital clocks to show the character
width as well.

The reference point for the face of a digital clock determines where the digits
are aligned. With left alignment the reference point of the first digit will be
aligned to the reference point of the clock face.
