Penpad provides an interactive control (widget) for simple drawing tasks.

With this control, users can draw their scribble, as well as make a signature (autograph) for document exchange.

Penpad is just a simple widget that needs to be integrated with a toolbar or other interactive controls in a complete application.

HOW TO USE IT

Included demos will show you how to add a penpad to your applications.

Basically, in order to activate a penpad you only need to add 3 lines:

  pack .penbox

There are few other command you can use for customizing the penpad (read below).

   # change the look
  .penpad configure -pencolor white -bg black
   # save your drawings on a file (a .gif)
  .penbox export mywork.gif
   # clean your penpad
  .penbox clean

For full details, read the "Penpad Reference" [L3 ] within the doc directory.

  • add more custom good-looking cursors.
  • "Easy way" for adding a background image.
  • Calligraphy !!!
