  • Change Color: Changes the pencil color.
  • Stroke Weight: Adjusts the radius of the pencil or eraser.
  • Eraser: Changes the cursor into an eraser so you can selectively remove portions of the drawing on the screen.
  • Pencil: Changes the cursor into a pencil.
  • Laser: Changes the cursor into a laser pointer you can use to draw the device user's attention to something on the screen.
  • Change User Access: Switches between allowing only you, or both you and the device user, to draw on the device screen.

Results

When you give the device user the ability to draw on the screen, a set of drawing tools appear at the bottom of the device screen.

Device Drawing Tools

These tools enable the device user to draw on the screen using their finger. They can use the tools to change the line color, clear all drawings from the screen, and temporarily suspend drawing so they can interact normally with the device screen.
