Also, I still cannot figure out if it is possible to freehand write
(text and mathematical formulas): I understand from previous posts
["Changing the size of the dragging area around freehand notes",
2009-04-14; "Skim Freehand and Inkwell (via a graphics tablet)",
2009-01-11] that this matter has been already discussed: does it
mean
that it is simply not possible?
I'm not sure what you mean. You can add freehand scribbles, which can
look like anything, including text. But there's no textual
interpretations of your doodles.
Thank you very much for your answer.
I should have been more clear: my purpose is to scribble during a
lecture/seminar, in a way as much similar as possible to the way I use
to write on the blackboard (I do not care about textual
interpretations: most of what I write is mathematics, and hence it
cannot be interpreted by any ocr-like software).
The main point is that to me it is important to write in "real time",
without any need of editing or selecting. But while writing fast
(tablet), it happens quite often that the next stroke is too close to
the previous one, so that instead of adding the stroke I meant, the
previous stroke is moved away. This can be fixed if I am simply
annotating the article, but it is not good for the audience of a
seminar. Also the question about the selected last object frame was on
the same line: it is a necessary feature in editing mode, but it might
be not so in presentation mode.
So basically the question could have been whether it is possible to
take a proper subset of the features available in the normal mode and
to make them available in presentation mode, but probably this would
qualify as a feature request and not a question.
Thank you again for your help,
Davide
That would indeed qualify as a feature request, but one that has
already been rejected. Sorry.
