Does an app like this exist??
 
what im wanting is an app that is like xournal , with lined paper etc. but where i can type as well as sketch on the same screen. say where i could type and it stays on the lines of the paper but can highlight , draw etc. i find that my handwriting isnt the best on xournal. although i still love the program.... hard to stay in the lines.

Re: Does an editor app that allows drawing as well exist??
 
Since I'm looking for an app that has almost exactly the same functionality, I figured i awaken this old thread instead of creating a new one (hope you don't mind munky :)).

For myself I'm looking for an editor that I would mainly use for typing (as my hand writing is atrocious, that's one of the reasons I like computers in the first place :o), but I'd like the capability to be able to add hand drawings, diagrams, etc.

Any ideas anyone? TX

:)

the next mNotes will be able to take photo with cam, really simple text handwritted ( simply curve in dark and a delete ) and still the old text typped with keyboard feature.

But handwritted and typped text will be on a different notebook page. But can be on the same notes.

Of course i can always add some draw features.

maemopad+ lets you type on one page and draw on another.

what about an app that allows you to append a photo to a note (typed or otherwise)

Like cheezburgr? (I strongly recommend against installing that POC unless you actually plan to fix it up; it's not robust, sane, or even necessarily non-evil. But I think you can find a proper netpbm for maemo these days.)

dare I say fixed in fremantle ;)

its been on the agenda for liqbase for a while now.

I can add a button to the photo feature to add a picture instead of only a picture take with the cam;

Re: Does an app like this exist??
 
Thanks for the feedback. I'll give maemopad+ a try & wait anxiously for the mnotes & liqbase updates :).

Ideally I'd want to be able to type some text & add a drawing after it or below the line (such as a small diagram after 'draw a circle with a small elipse inside of it'. How much smaller is the elipse? Is it closer to the bottom, top, side, ... ?)

@khertan i look forward to your updated mnotes app w/ or w/o extra button (xtra button would b nice)

? There is such functionality in Xournal - simply press "A" and type.

I just tried, but no. I'm not sure what the A does.

I've tried Maemopad+. Seems like it might be workable for what I need. Anyone know what format the database is in? Is it proprietary to MP+ or can some other program use it? My main concern is that I save stuff in a text file, any editor can open it. How would I access my MP+ files if I decided to no longer use MP+ for whatever reason?

I've tried using the built-in keyboard on my N810. What do you do to enable typing? This would be pretty-near perfect :).

Come on - on the bottom bar You've got "A" button.
Select this tool and tap the screen with stylus where You want to type.
Then - cursor appears (blinking) and You can type. Period.

Good thing that You can copy and paste texts just like in any other vector drawing program (Inkscape, Corel etc).

Yep, I can see that.

Done that. Makes a dot on the screen (like I'm drawing)

Not for me. Tapping the screen makes dots. No cursor. Only Periods :)

That sounds exactly what I'm looking for. Now, if it would only work. Any ideas? :confused:

Looks like You've got corrupted or maybe extras-devel version(?).

Nail meets head :). That was it. I used to have extras-devel enabled
but I had disabled it, obviously not before installing xournal.
Version after uninstall/reinstall 0.4.2.1-1chinook4, before 0.4.2.1-1diablo2.

I have to admit that I wasn't to impressed with xournal's performance previously, but now this is pretty cool!! And it does exactly what I've been looking for.

Thanks for the help!!
