Drawing with Trackpad

Is there are way to use trackpad for drawing lines and such? What I am specifically interested in is a site for practicing writing Chinese characters. I know there is a way to do input of Chinese characters that is described elsewhere, but this web site doesn't use the language input, but rather you simply draw the characters in the web page. I can manage it by pressing down on the trackpad and drawing, but it's a little harder doing this on the trackpad than on the mouse and I can't get the fineness of the drawing I would prefer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm wondering if maybe a tablet would be better for this sort of thing.

  • Draw graph with trackpad?

    hello,
    is any program how to write/draw graph in pages with trackpad? i know that i can make graph in pages but it's slowly...
    thank for tips

    Hello,
    I’m not too sure what the exact problem you are encountering
    is, and I see a sequence structure but I don’t see how it comes in to play
    here.  If your question is about how to
    add multiple plots to an XY graph, I would take a look at the context help
    window which gives good indication about how to add plots to the graph.  Each plot consists of a “bundle” of arrays
    where each element in the bundle is an array of data values.  To add plots to the graph, wire each ‘bundled’
    plot to the “build array” VI.  Make sure
    to expand the plot legend in the graph to account for the multiple plots that
    will be displayed.
    Before troubleshooting the XY graph, I would make sure that
    you are getting the appropriate data from your Data Acquisition device.  Are you certain that you have set up your DAQ
    portion of code correctly, and that the data coming from the device is in the
    proper format?
    Thanks for posting to the forms, please let us know if you have
    any additional information or questions on this.  Have a great weekend!

  • Drawing with a pencil = circles and rectangles

    When I am drawing with a pencil, the line looks like the shape I want to draw, but when I stop drawing, the shape reshapes to another shape whick looks like circles and rectangles = it does not look like the shape I wanted to draw. What is the problem?

    at the bottom of the tools panel click the pencil mode icon and choose ink or, use the brush tool if you want no adjustment to your drawing.

  • ITune 8.1 coverflow is useless with trackpad

    Hi
    I updated to itune 8.1 on a white macbook 2.0GB.
    When I use coverflow with trackpad, it's not really responsive. You have to more your finger a lot to get the covers for scoll... and it just scoll WAY too much. Can't really scroll slowly (one by one) with your finger anymore. Anyone have the same problem? Scolling with mouse is fine. Only trackpad has issue.
    Cover Flow in Finder is fine as well. So They changed the cover flow scroll rate when using trackpad in iTune. Driving me nuts.
    How do I get back to itune 8?

    You have to scroll from the top to the bottom of the touchpad and not from the left to the right.
    Then it works fine..

  • Can't zoom with trackpad in safari how can i solve that?

    Help please!!!
    can't zoom with trackpad in safari how can i solve that?

    There are two places on settings where you can tunr zoom on or off for the trackpad.
    They both need to be on for it to work.
    The first is under: system preferences>trackpad>scroll & zoom, then you just need to chekc the box to turn zoom on. ( this is the one you already have checked i think)
    The second is under: system preferences>universal access>seeing, then check the box that says zoom.
    Hope this helps.

  • Drawing with the Pen tools

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-73a0a.h tml

    Correction: same issue -- pen tool drawing shows up only on the digital image on the screen. Not when printed. Well sounded like a good theory.
    Problem remains: how to get pen tool drawing, made on photographs, to print.

    Curt, believe I found the answer:
    Create a new blank page, the size of the photograph to be worked on. The blank page is what the pen tool responds to only.
    Add the photographic image to the new blank page (same size).
    Now you can use the pen tool over the photographic image. When finished drawing, flatten the image with drawing, and print.

    Perhaps you are talking about stroking the line? 
    Set the color and size with brush, then in Path window click on Stroke Path with Brush.

  • Drawing with Asterisk

  • Drawing with mouse

    Hi everybody,
    I'm making a drawing application, everythings looks and works ok, except for one thing...
    My mouse cursor is hidden and a paintbrush like cursor follows it. This cursor is a movieclip, because the user chooses a color, and the tip of this paintbrush changes to the selected color.
    So far so good. But there's one problem... when I draw to the left the line is drawed with no problem, but when I draw to the right, the line is interrupted, and I don't understand why.
    I made one experiment, and with no movieclip "attached" to the mouse cursor, the line is drawed with no problem, both to the right and left.
    I'll give you the code that manages this feature, in hope that someone can help me on this.
    Thanks for your time...

    You're wright... it is here. The boardOut function is called too soon, but funny thing is that, if I don't have a movie clip following the mouse, it works OK. If there's a MC the mouse calls boardOut early, when the drawing movement is to the right.
    To the left the movement has no problem

  • 9.2.1 update can't scroll my videos in iphoto with trackpad

    Since my update to 9.2.1 I can no longer scroll videos (fast forward or rewind with two fingers) with trackpad. I was able to do this with all videos in iphoto albums prior to update. Is there a setting or solution to this? Very dissapointed as this was my favourite feature of my mac!
    Thanks, Mike

    iPhoto 9.2.3 is incompatible with MacOS 10.9.3 Mavericks. If you are running Mavericks on your system you need to update iPhoto to 9.5.1. Only, the problem is, that this version is no longer available at the App Store.
    The easiest way to get a compatible iPhoto version in that case would be to upgrade to Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10, and then download the most recent iPhoto version from the AppStore, iiPhoto 9.6, like LarryHN suggested.
    If you cannot download iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6 post back.

  • Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?

    Drawing with a custom profile stroke is not working for me. Does it work for you?
    I can only apply it on an existing stroke but can't draw a new one with the selected profile. In fact if I change the profile to other than the default Uniform I also can't draw a new stroke with any other width than the default 1 point. This doesn't seem normal.
    Using SC5 on a PC.

    Another question on the same topic.
    Once I add a new profile to the list is it possible to put it on top of the list. I need this because the Adobe people decided to put the list in a tiny scrollable window with only a few of the first profiles showing. If there is noting in the interface may be I have to modify some program files settings?

  • Delayed live screen drawing with tools in Photoshop. Video driver update?

    Delayed live screen drawing with tools in Photoshop CS5 on my iMac running system 10.6.7.
    Hi there. Recently, I've been having issues with the tools. There's a distinct DELAY in the live drawing. For example, if I open a random image, take the pencil, paintbrush, or even eraser tool, and I draw a large line across the image, I don't see anything. If I zoom in or out 1 click, I see the line. If I draw ANOTHER line, same thing - I need to zoom in or out to see it. With all of the tools. I've never had this issue before and it's incredibly frustrating (that might be an understatement as you can imagine - I use PS daily as I am a full-time designer.) Any ideas or solutions? I've already TRASHED my preferences and reset the tool. If it IS a driver issue (which is weird, because this issue just recently started happening) I contacted the driver manufacturer (AMD) and was told:
    "Unfortunately, Apple does not authorize us to release drivers for their products.
    All drivers are provided to Apple who then customize and release them to their customers.
    You will need to contact Apple to obtain the most current drivers for your product."

    You are correct - only Apple can deliver display drivers to you.  That's what you get with a Mac as Apple wants to be your "one stop shop" for support..
    Just curious:  Are you painting with large brushes and very small Spacing values?  That can cause some delay, though it normally catches up on its own - you don't have to do anything to make it happen.
    Have you tried disabling OpenGL Drawing in your Photoshop Edit - Preferences - Performance menu.  Restart Photoshop after making that change and before testing.

  • Using a keyListener to draw with arrow keys

    Hi!
    I am trying to create an interactive game where the user can
    draw a line using the arrow keys (similar to an etch-a-sketch). I
    have a start point acting on keyListeners that will move around the
    screen using the arrow keys, but I can't seem to figure out how to
    get the listeners to draw a line. Here is the correct code that
    moves the start point:
    information_txt.text = "USE YOUR ARROW KEYS TO DRAW";
    var speed:Number = 4;
    start_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if (Key.isDown(Key.RIGHT)) {
    this._x = this._x+speed;
    } else if (Key.isDown(Key.LEFT)) {
    this._x = this._x-speed;
    if (Key.isDown(Key.UP)) {
    this._y = this._y-speed;
    } else if (Key.isDown(Key.DOWN)) {
    this._y = this._y+speed;
    How can I modify Action Script to get the keyListeners to
    draw on the arrow keys?
    Any help would be MUCH appreciated!!!
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply! That's awesome. you were right, my
    script is in AS 2.0... I guess I posted to the wrong section. But I
    could easily switch to AS 3.0. I am really just interested in
    drawing with the arrow keys and using that action script to draw
    onto my own stage/ image. I have tried messing with the script, but
    can't seem to get the "drawing" portions of the script to work.
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks again for the help!!!

  • Jittery lines when drawing with pencil tool in Flash

  • Drawing with a graphics tablet in Flash

    Hey community!
    I recently got the newest version of Flash and wanted to do some drawing with my graphics tablet, but whenever i try to draw a freehand line, using the pencil or paintbrush tool, then for some reason, it draws a straight line leading to the bottom left side of the screen, and i have no idea why it is doing this.
    When i use the tablet to draw in Photoshop, then it works absolutely fine, but not in Flash
    Any help will be lovely!!
    Thank you

    Hi,
    The issue is resolved in the latest update of Flash Pro.Please update Flash professional to 14.1.0.96 .Follow the instruction below for the same :
    Installation instructions
    Log out and log in to the CC desktop application. Update the application when prompted.
    You should see the list of new updates as soon as the new CC desktop application is launched.
    Install Flash Professional CC and Mobile Device Packaging app. On a high speed connection, it took me around 8 minutes.
    After the application is installed, you can launch the application directly from the desktop app by clicking on it.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • When I try to copy a drawing with text, it only pastes the text,  can anyone help me?

    When I try to copy a drawing with text, it only pastes the text,  can anyone help me?
    adobe illustrator cs5

    Are your drawing layers locked and the text layers unlocked?  So far it sounds as if the "Copy" command isn't grabbing anything but the text.  I've had a similar problem with text not coming across when I saved my vector art as a raster image: for that I had to remove a compound path or something from the text before it would come over.
    Make sure your layers (and sublayers) aren't locked, and check your compound paths and clipping masks to see if there's something funny going on.
