- Thanks for taking a look at my first Pilot application. I actually use this
- myself, so I know its limitations. And, yes, I do know there are better
- versions of this type of app. It's just my way of learning how to program the
- Pilot.
-
- If you're curious, I've been using MetroWerks' CodeWarrior. Starting with
- their basic app shell (a MemoPad varient), it took about me about 5 hours to
- get this app up and running. Another couple of hours poking & prodding at it
- to make it more user friendly, and that's about it. Of course, I have no idea
- how long it would take to develop something from scratch, something not
- modelled after the MemoPad app.
-
- If you like it, or if you have suggestions or bug reports, feel free to send me
- email. I'm always looking for ways to improve anything I've done. I'm also
- looking for free time in which to perform those improvements. :-)
-
- This software has been tested on CoPilot and in my PalmPilot Professional. I'd
- like to hear from others about compatibility issues. (This software is
- supposed to check for at least OS version 2.0 although I'm unable to exercise
- that execution path, given my limited testing environment.)

- Known Bugs
- ----------
-
- There are no known bugs at this time. If you do find a feature that you
- suspect was unintentional, please write to me at the email address above.
-
- Version History
- ---------------
-
- 1.1 - Date 19980331: New features added.
-
- a) Ability to erase.
- There is now a pair of toggles on the 'Canvas' form -- selecting
- 'Draw' will draw lines as usual; selecting 'Erase' will erase lines,
- currently only one pixel wide. A possible future enhancement would
- be to make erasing be three (or more) pixels wide.
-
- b) 'Lock'
- In the 'Details' dialogue there is now a 'Locked' checkbox. Put
- a checkmark in this box to prevent accidental changes to your
- drawing. When this checkbox is marked, Scribbler will not allow
- drawing or erasing in your current doodle. To re-enable doodling,
- simply remove the checkmark.
-
- c) Text
- Under the 'Edit' menu in the 'Canvas' form there is now a 'Text'
- option. This brings up a small dialogue that allows you to enter
- a text string. When you tap OK, you've enabled the text feature.
- Place AND HOLD the stylus in the drawing area, and your text will
- appear. Drag the stylus around until you've moved the text to
- the location you wish it to appear. Lift the stylus, and the text
- will be placed there permanently.
-
- If you decide not to place the text on the screen, drag the text
- up to the top (title bar area). The text will disappear, and it
- will be safe to lift up the stylus.
-
-
- 1.0 - Date 19980318: Initial public release.
-
- a) Default scribble title
- It's better than having it blank...
-
- b) Warning dialogue
- If you tap 'Done' on a drawing whose name is 'Untitled', then
- a warning dialogue pops up to let you know. Tap 'OK' to go
- back to rename the drawing, and tap 'Cancel' if you think
- the name doesn't warrant changing.
-
- b) Clear All
- The 'Canvas' form now has an Edit menu which allows you to
- clear the entire drawing. Not quite the best way of erasing
- mistakes, but better than nothing, I suppose.
-
- 0.1 - Date 19980316: Unreleased alpha
-
- a) Hacked up Stationery.c
- The Metrowerks development environment comes with a basic
- app that's similar to the Memo Pad. I've hacked this up
- to remove tons of code not necessary for a scribbling
- application.
-
- b) Added 'Canvas' form
- This permits the scribbling to take place. Wowza. Saves
- scribbles to the ScribbleDB database. *Now* how much
- would you pay?
-
- c) Added 'Title' to 'Details' dialogue.
- Now you too can name your drawings.
