TOOLBAR and TOOLS
The toolbar contains all the drawing tools available. During normal operation the toolbar is hidden leaving the whole screen area to take notes. To show the toolbar simply tap into the graffiti area. To hide the toolbar you can either select a new tool or tap in the screen or the graffiti area to keep using the same tool. Available tools:
PEN: draw a free-form line and handwriting.
LINE: draw straight lines.
RECTANGLE: draw a rectangle or a square. While dragging the pen thru the screen you'll notice horizontal and/or vertical lines in the center of the rectangle, they are drawing aid lines indicating which one is greater axis. When the rectangle becomes a square both lines are shown.
CIRCLE: draw ellipses and circles. This tool has the drawing aid lines in the same way as the rectangle.
TEXT: draws one line of text. When selecting this tool, the following form appears:
Type the text you want using the graffiti area or the standard on screen keyboard. When ready, tap the OK button to close the form and then tap and drag on the screen the desired position of the text. If you want to close the form tap the CANCEL button. The listbox stores the last five typed text lines. Normal button: this is the normal setting. Once you have positioned text for the first time, tapping the screen makes the enter-text form to appear again. Repeat button: select this button when you need to draw the same text repeated times. Tapping the screen allows drawing the same text. To change the text, select TEXT from the toolbar and the form will appear. #Numeric button: select this button when you need to enumerate. A number is added at the end of the typed text. Tapping the screen again allows drawing the same text with the next number. To start counting with a number other than 1, just include it at the end of the text. #Alpha button: similar to #Numeric but the enumeration is made using the alphabet letters.
PAINT: fill an area with the current color. Just tap in a point within the area you want to paint.
PAGE CONVERSION: convert a page to text mode. This may be useful when the notes are mostly text. In this mode you are allowed only to write using the graffiti or the keyboard. A text mode page can't have drawings.
ATTENTION: converting a page to text mode erases any drawing in that page. You can convert a text page into a graphic page using the address button. When doing this conversion the text is not erased but it can't be edited anymore as text; it has to be edited as a graphic.
COLOR: selects between black and white. This affects all the tools except the TEXT.
ERASER: erase a small screen area.
UNDO: there is a 1-step undo, tapping here discards the last drawing operation.
When the UNDO operation is not available its button is grayed.
