Friends, anybody got a favorite program that supports drawing directly on slides with a stylus — not in the sense of annotating slides during a talk, but in the sense of preparing diagrams for them?
I would strongly prefer the result is something vectorized and editable. It's okay if it smooths, but if it "corrects" a loose, open oval to a perfect, closed oval (for example) and can't be overridden, that won't work.
Must run on Linux and/or Mac, preferably both. I could work with something that ran in-browser only, as long as I can export to a standard format for presentations and PDF.
@iris Not really sure if that's what you are looking for but I generally use Inkscape for that, works perfectly.
@nicolaromano my goal is to not have to move back and forth between the program with my figures and the program with my slides. Or at minimum, I would need the files to be linked, so when I update a figure, my slides also update.
@iris @nicolaromano Inkscape has had a slide design tool for a long time, apparently (since v0.48): http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Extensions-JessyInk.html
The principle seems great: draw in Inkscape as usual, then export as a single file that any browser can display. I don't know how smooth it is in practice.
I want to try it but haven't had enough time yet. I have used Inkscape a lot for making figures lately, became quite proficient, so all this experience would be amazing if I could apply it to make slides.
@Guillawme @iris Oh, that looks interesting! Will have a look as well, might be useful thanks
