Homework 1, CSE 490ra, Winter 2005
Due Tuesday, January 11, 11:59 am
You may do this assignment on a desktop machine (with the Tablet SDK installed), or on
a tablet. It is recommended that you do atleast part of the assignment in the Tablet PC lab
(AC 003D). The instructor and the TA will schedule some lab hours.
Hello World, Part A
Hello world is that standard first application to write in a new environment.
For the tablet pc version, I would like you to create a program with an inkCollector
that allows the user to write Hello World (or anything else!). Provide controls
to allow changing the color of the ink. Here is a screen shot of my version.
Hello World, Part B
Extend Hello World, with the following enhancements:
- Separate the control area from the ink area with a splitters, so that you can
change the relative sizes of control and ink areas.
- Convert the ink collector to an ink overlay to allow editting and selection, with buttons
to switch between ink, select, and erase modes.
- Have the color button change the color of the selected text. (I had some trouble on this
one until I realized it was necessary to invalidate the ink panel after changing colors)
- Add a track bar to control width of all of the lines. Each time the trackbar changes,
update all the line widths.
