Thank you!!! It's almost working!!! After switching to the drawing point objects ceased to draw line features.

which can be reinstantiated by switching inputs type choice (like fur -> sketchy), probably fixable in the code. HTH

[Lydovig]

It will be easier, but it works! And more work space.

[twobob]

your "clear" button needs work. (crash) other than that nice one

EDIT: It now works.. hmm. dunno. : )

Other stuff still does nothing, I'll have a look in the code.

pretty sure its only a two touch interface. so the brush size stuff may not work as expected. opacity via a dropdown would also be fine. nice one mate.

Two touches. And rotation is not reliable (only resizing). The corner coordinates can get swapped while rotating when both touches cross the same X or Y position. I have some (unfinished) code that corrects for this quite reliably using velocity tracking instead of positional tracking, swapping corners as needed to maintain rotational continuity. That was a script though, so I need to convert it to C and complete it. Resizing is easy though -- just measure a diagonal of the bounding rectangle of your two touch points.

yeah. so just to be clear I was talking about: (pictured)

Tested all the options now. AFAICT only pressing SHIFT actually works. all the others have no effect. including all the gestures. HTH

What is Google?
What is it used for?

This is very significant. However, I meant to link to a compilation for Kindlе not encyclopedic reference.

And I meant you should be able to look it up for yourself.
Let us know when you find a better link than what I provided.

[twobob]

So Yeah. It's not a kindle tool, It's a viewer for the x11vnc that I run on the kindle.

there is a build for the x11vnc on here (I just built my own) seaniko provides one...
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=175297

Then I vnc into that (opening port 5900 with iptables along the way) from another machine (non kindle) and take the screenshots. (In this case with gvncviewer)

Hope that's nice and clear.

[twobob]

Actually. I recommend xtightvncviewer <kindleIP>

since this provides a DOT cursor. where the other does not. helpful.

the other provides scaled output however. possibly good for high detail work remotely.

I have been building tools for making xcursors on the device (awesome has a few caveats but it should be possible) more on that if I ever need to finish it.

however xtightvncviewer is fine for my needs with it's dot cursor TBH so I don't think I will be bothering. As you can see this allows for much greater accuracy on fine work with far higher speed. (pictured) which - aside from fixing the lack of UNDO, SAVE, CLEAR, OPACITY, BLEND TYPES and things inferred via gestures, this will satisfy most "quickie sketch" artists needs IMHO.
