Howdy --

I use OO 2.1 Writer to take notes in class. I'm running it on a Windows Tablet PC. I would really like the the ability to pop out the stylus and draw a diagram into the middle of my notes. I currently have ctrl-shift-D bound to insert a frame where I can use the drawing tools to create a diagram, but the drawing tools are too cumbersome to keep up with a professor writing on the board full blast. Even the freehand drawing tool has to take time to find the endpoints and to all the nifty things that let you grab it and move it around, by which time the prof's moved on to the next thing. What I really want is something similar to Word's "insert ink comment": a very fast thread that just grabs the mouse position, as long as the button's down, and throws the bits into the frame as a bitmap drawing. Ideally, it should be fast enough to capture written words, though I don't care at all if it can do OCR. It would also be wonderful if it supported the ability to erase (preferably by letting me use the "eraser" end of the stylus, as some of the tablet-aware software does).

Does anyone know of such a feature, or an extension that might provide that feature?

Thanks,
Jeff
