Bitpaper has great handwriting capabilities which works well when paired with a graphics tablet or smart device. The pen tool, activated by clicking on the pen or by pressing 1 enables drawing freehand:

This can be used to write words, equations or draw shapes.

And holding shift activates the ruler, allowing you to draw straight lines at any angle:

Pressing 2 opens the tool settings in the side bar:

From this menu you can change:

  1. The width and colour of the pen

  2. The width of the eraser

  3. The colour, width and opacity of the highlighter.

The eraser is accessed by pressing 3 or clicking the eraser icon:

The highlighter is accessed by pressing 8 or clicking on the highlighter icon:

With the pen tool selected, 1, right clicking will bring up the quick colour palette:

There are 9 predefined colours, with the option to customise them to your personal preference, and a slider to set the pen width.
