Layered Ink 2.0.1

Work > Programming > Layered Ink 2.0.1

Abstract: Layered Ink is a simple cocoa application which allows you to create artwork using a graphics tablet or mouse (the graphics tablet support is what makes it cool. The picture below was done with a mouse, and is far from impressive). Also, the drawing is path-based, not bitmap-based, so you can zoom in infinitely and continue making crisp lines. It also allows you to create multiple layers, so you can rearrange or hide specific parts of an image. A floating palate allows you to choose pen colors and sizes.

Pen angle detection is not currently supported, but pressure sensitivity works with all Mac OS X native tablets. Opening and saving is working, but printing isn't (at all). It uses the NSBezierPath class to do a lot of the rendering, and makes a pretty good example.

Version History:

• 1.0 = First and last version. This was a cool little project, but it's not gonna replace my copy of photoshop anytime soon...
