903 pbDraw - alternative stylus drawing program

[maxlilt]

Bored by Scribble I have written an alternative handwriting for readers with sensor: PB PRO series 603, 903, 612, 622, 912.
You can draw with 5 types of thick lines - selectable in the palette vertically.
Colour (16 shades of gray) can be selected in the palette horizontally.
Black and white drawn faster than a semitone.
Files are automatically saved like "/My Pictures/pbdraw1.bmp".
The files will not be overwritten, after editing the new file is created.
You can choose and open previously saved file using the "next page" - "previous page" or by menu(3 and 4 buttons).

1-st button - New (without saving);
2 - to delete last opened file;
5 - the main freehand drawing mode;
6 - drawing lines by mark at the start and end points;
7 - "tonal brush" of five sizes with a given "color";
8 - filled square;
9 - one-level UNDO;
10 - close with saving.

You can edit the screenshots files. Put it to the folder "/ My Pictures" and rename the file to "pbdraw1.bmp" with the next available number in place of sequence.

Hi maxlilt,

thanks for this nice drawing program!
I've always found the scribble program to be quite restricted, especially drawing in grayscale or simply drawing straight lines is still not possible there and PB do not want to provide their sources for scribble so there was no chance to improve that program...

Do you have any plans to provide the sources (sourceforge or somewhere)? That would be really cool!

What's fast driver? How can I install it?

P.S. Eraser is so big. Couldn't it be smaller?

It looks very nice, maxlilt!! Much more functions.

I've question;
I use firmware 2.1.2, do I use with or without 'fast driver'?

Fast driver version only for "Alternative RC Firmware 2.1.2 (19.12.2011)"

pbmaniac: This is my first first program in C, so sources should be polished a bit, to be published .

rasto93: Do you mean a "filled square" tool? It has a five sizes too.

Hello maxlilt,
I like your drawing app, especially the fast version.
However, on my PB 903, the icons are not shown correctly. They are just grey squares.
Is it possible to adapt them somehow?

Regards,
kyriako.

Hello Kyriako!
Check this:
Configuration -> Library Data Update -> Automatically

Hello maxlilt,
I found it!
On my PB the app starts with the selection fields for the line width and "color".
When I push the OK button the icons appear.
Great! Thank you.

Regards,
kyriako.

Tested on PB Pro 912
- An excellent scribble alternative
- Both the versions work, I suggest the "fast"
- Suffers from the speed of the PB Pro 912 that's not a rocket... (but just like Scribble)

Good job

Hello,

thank you for your great work.

Currently I use the programm for todo-lists during work etc.

I really want to encourage you to share the source. Even if it is experimental I would love to expand this program to use it as notebook.
