Abstract

Handwriting in computer environments satisfies many requirements that are necessary to support creative activities, as it is easy to use, natural, flexible, and informal. This article proposes a tool to support creative activities using handwriting. The tool has the following features: (1) It is targeted for use in processing diagrams with logical structures. (2) It provides a handwriting input interface. (3) It maintains the handwritten feel of diagrams. (4) It supports creative activities intellectually and actively. The architecture and the behavior of the tool are explained using some screen shots of a prototype.
