Just Viewed "Jot! Free" in Ap store. Pretty Cool

Check it out. "Jot Free" I liked the simplicity but usefulness of that lil drawing App. I would like to do something like that but have Icons you can drag out onto the canvas. I am in a business where sketching out problems on a map on the fly and deploying resources is key. Anyone mess with the art tools much in IOS? I would like to consider a custom version of something like this.

Dave, I can't find an app named "Jot Free".

I didn't use the paint/draw tools in iOS but I am doing some graphical stuff. An example is Strõm, which is a desktop app to create diagrams. I think that a tablet version would be possible.

Kind regards,

Mark

Hi,
That was weird a search in the app store failed for me as well. But I found it again on a google search. Here is the link.

Hi Dave,

The problem with LiveCode is that it takes a palette to click on a button with a paint tool active without creating a new image object. The simplest version of such an app would be a stack with one full-screen image object and the pencil tool being active from the very start.

Another possibility might be to use a polygon and to set the points of the polygon while the user moves the pointer tool over the screen. Each time the user taps the screen, an empty line needs to be added to the polygon. This approach is more complicated but allows for more flexibilty,

Kind regards,

Mark
