+        remove the zindex stuff.
+        get rid of the separation between text/image in terms of ID
+        -> the function doesn't need params and should just get the index
+        
+        use the id index as the key in the data map for easier zindex manipulation
+        make all default ids just "container-Z" regardless of type, no need to use the name in there at all
+
+        
+        then you can get rid of the index map too, you can just check the normal data map to see if the ID is used
+        
+        do you need to  save the numberOfTexContainers/ImageContainers? or honestly probably not..
