The palm development SDK includes source to an application called beamer.
This app illustrates how to send a bitmap from one device to another. The
source
includes an important file called WinBMP.c that has routines for
dynamically creating
a bitmap and writing to it as an offscreen window. This functions show the
right way to
do this. The app also includes code to capture pen strokes onto the bitmap.
There is no built in form gadget for editing these objects, but the above
code should
help. If you capture pen strokes that originate within a gadget and write
them onto a
bitmap, you should have what you need.
