NAME
pen - doodle anywhere on the screen
SYNOPSIS
pen
DESCRIPTION
Pen writes on the screen with smooth strokes. It can scribble on lay‐
ers or on the background, even while other programs are running. It
can be used to make drawings, marks or annotations, or to highlight re‐
gions in a crowded screen. Pen never needs refilling.
To write, press mouse button 1 and keep it pressed while moving the
mouse. To move around without writing, release the button. Button 3
controls a menu to stop drawing (allowing one to resume normal activi‐
ties), resume drawing, clean up, or exit the program.
BUGS
When drawing too fast, the pen can temporarily run out of ink; when
this happens release button 1 and press it again. To avoid this prob‐
lem, make the pen layer bigger (that is where the ink supply is kept).
