This is a drawing tool I created for LADS, a project I was working on with the Brown University Graphics Group. LADS is a artwork gallery built completely on HTML/JavaScript which allows people to easily zoom in/out large artworks. I needed to create a drawing tool to allow curators to annotate the artworks but at the same time zoom in without losing quality. And therefore, a vector-graphics paint application was born!
- Uses Raphaël SVG libraries to draw the objects
- Uses JQuery libraries to makes things easier
- Can do rudimetnary 'layers' and shapes drawn can be moved around
- Eraser tool allowing paths to be erased ala mspaint (a tool similar to this was only added to Adobe Illustrator in 2007 in CS3!)
- Should support all modern browsers
- Allow resizing of shapes
- Better layer manipulation
- More drawing options
