Feature Request:
A scroll bar in the Book Reader mode
Re-sizable text in Book Reader mode

The stamp algorithm seems to be really good. I have not seen a slowdown, even with a hundred stamps. You can make some really tripy designs with it (like a house of mirrors kind of thing), but it always draws a square around the stamp. Can the user remove this behavior?

The stamp is totally trippy, but I want to make it better.
I have had to use the self stamp due to constraints of the object model which I hope to get time to upgrade soon.
Styling comes with all that, but for now, just select a dark pen and pretend.



Today I have managed to somehow get my head back into it,

I have made my first png image! \/
I have reverted the algo for sketch rendering on graffiti.


I hope you lot are havin as much fun as me

Yes, I'd say this is intuitive!

Last night, on a train ride to Grandma's house, I brought out liqbase and showed it to my just-turned-3 daughter. I only had to show her how to navigate once (sometimes twice) and within 8 minutes of first being introduced to the program, she was drawing multicoloured pictures ("that's a duck." or "that's a mitten!"), saving them, then going to the physics test and making them "bump" each other around the screen. Each time she did it, she'd let out a loud laugh, and yell, "bump! bump! bump!"

The guy standing next to us, said to his friend, "I gotta get one of those!" and a few minutes later, he asked me what it was.

liqbase has image support.
liqbase.net has been updated to include images.
liqbase is in extras-devel (v0.1.3)

I am going to bed, goodnight

lcuk, I just installed the latest liqbase.

Wow

Thank you SO much for really showing what this tablet can do, without even using the demmed acceleration! You and liqbase are amazing!

Please, though, I've just got two little things to ask.

For the "Look at Stars," I would love to use it as a clock, it's works beautifully! But... the bacon... XD Tis funny, but ruins the whole effect. Could you give an option to turn it off and run the clock indefinitely?

Secondly... I know, it's a big one... Do you think you could take the engine from the web browser and render pages and such in Liqbase in a manner similar to your other features? I mean, hell, you can already render and save images with your latest, amazing package. Just wishful (REALLY REALLY WISHING HERE!!!) thinking...

I would love to scroll through the web as though it were a blit test

Lcuk,

Could it be possible to have an option to switch the menu in drawing mode to the left side of the screen? I am left-handed and I think it would be more comfortable to have more space to rest my hand while drawing or writing.

Thanks for this application. It's invaluable.

bacon is simply an easter egg that runs the second time stars is viewed in the app.
It will be made into an option (configurable kot..) soon.

Its been in my mind for a long time (hello Florian), but a full blown web renderer has features required which do not yet exist.
I have a shorter term more achievable goal in mind which will let us see whether it is worth including a full browser (html book rendering).

I am left handed myself, I kept catching the tools - I draw closer to the left edge than anywhere.
Configurable menu layouts are in the pipeline anyway, it should afterall be "the users' interface"

damn this toothache.
