Subject: Stylus drawing input?
Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2023 08:39:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA++fsGHfPba26EsfOVbkbz7Wuyz6yjnv5fkeKdEzQJE_kNJ7Lw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I wonder if anyone has ever worked on stylus (or mouse actually)
drawing input for emacs, which stores a "path" [*] of the stylus input
events?
Here are some possible use cases for such support:
In PDF-Mode there is an annotation option that allows attaching text
to various points in the document. It would be a nice addition to be
able to scribble with a stylus on top of the document and leaving
behind a "path" annotation as well.
Another use for such a mode would be for the android port, where we
may send the path to a path-to-text algorithm, for stylus text input.
When giving a presentation, it is often quicker to scribble on top of
the slides to illustrate a point, than it is to edit the source text
of the presentation.
Thanks!
[1] A path is here defined as a sequence of moveto xy, lineto xy,
(curveto(?), closepath) commands. Possibly with with additional vertex
attributes like time, pressure, tilt, etc.
