In this post, it is discussed about drawing application available in this repo. Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts. Original dawing application for Android (DinoDraw) was coded in the beginning of 2010s. I used ANT to geneate an apk file, but I was not able to find apk file anymore. I guess it isn’t supported anymore, see my discussion here.

However, source code is now available in draw-java repository. I have made new changes and started new project called PentingDraw.

cd git # or wherever you have your repositories
git clone https://github.com/talonendm/draw-java.git
cd draw-java
mkdir DinoDraw2
cp C:/Users/talon_000/OneDrive/TiedostotMore/DinoDraw2/* DinoDraw2/
# OR/AND
cp -r C:/Users/talon_000/Documents/Processing/PentingDraw . # comment: recursively copying

Note that while copying, some permissions were denied, follow these instructions. I decided to copy rest of the files manually. Powershell comment, copy recursively.

Penting keys

b/B: decrease/increase pen radius by one pixel
g: show/hide palette on top
n,N,3: new frame
l: laser on/off (on animated pics - it is not shown?)
L: save laser vector drawing as svg
o: center picture (update by r)
r: refresh image
8/9: scale image
a/A: animate drawing while making your drawing
v: undo last line
u: undo first line
S: save image as csv
s: save image as png
-/+: max pen size on pressure
t: redraw background image
ESC: save png and exit

Drawing application ideas

Create class viiva or piste

Class viiva having properties for the line. Note that if point, then connections should be stored different way. Save by ‘S’ key. Stored csv files can be visualied with p5 script, which makes it possible to animate drawings, see e.g. Katakana.

Edits before saving

Scaling ‘8’ and ‘9’ and centering of the object ‘o’. Refresh image ‘r’

Features

Background image/art/painting to help sketching. Similarly as it was in DinoDraw2 application.

P5

Random numbers added to the drawings. Also smoothing could be added. Drawing game, first experiment also available in Katakana where drawing should be followed by finger or mouse.

Todo P5

in mobile app, easily navigate by letters and in p5 webpage, with keyboard find e.g. all letters containing “a”
easier to find letters, e.g. if reading paper book

TODO draw

Store video frames and remove possible background image from final movie file.
webcam: draw yourself (mirrow and moving)
on / off: show one pixes for place: lines through pixels

GIMP

Huion 430P and Windows 11

I thought that my cheap tablet doesn’t work anymore. I need to make some installation and setup:

Install Driver, otherwise a tablet works only with some delay. (Driver_15.4.1.3542 021-09-11)

Pressure sensitivity in Gimp, see discussion here.

” Edit -> Preferences Input Devices -> Configure Extended Input Devices Choose your device and set it to Screen mode Save, close, and try again. “

Go to File > Preferences > Input Devices > Configure Extended Input Devices

Compressing Images

PNG to jpeg, quality after selecting ``export as’’.
