Whiteboard

A whiteboard that feels like paper

Switch a tab to Draw and the canvas becomes a whiteboard: three markers in hand, a pen that answers to pressure, and erasers that take a whole stroke or just a smudge. Sketch it rough, and let it snap to shape when you want it neat.

Everything in this category

Three markers in hand

Keys 1, 2 and 3 pick up three markers, each Fine, Medium or Bold. Marker 1 is ink; the other two take any of eight stock colours or a colour of your own.

Pressure-sensitive pens

Draw with a stylus and the line thins and swells with how hard you press, the way ink does. A mouse or a finger keeps the width you chose.

Sketch freehand, or let it snap to shape

Switch on shape recognition and a rough circle, rectangle, triangle, diamond or line becomes a clean shape the moment you lift the pen. Hold still for half a second to preview it first. It starts off, so a sketch stays a sketch until you ask.

Two erasers

The stroke eraser lifts a whole stroke in one touch; the partial eraser rubs out only what it passes over. Stickies, text and shapes are never cut in half.

Clean curves with the Path tool

Press P for a vector pen, like the one in your design tool: draw a smooth curve, then edit any point as a corner, mirrored or aligned. For the line that has to be exact.

Rest your palm on the screen

Once you pick up a stylus, a single finger pans rather than draws, so a resting palm leaves no mark. Two fingers always pan and zoom.

A board in light or dark

Put Plain, Dots or Grid behind your ink, a choice that is yours alone. Ink and the stock marker colours adjust so they read on a light board and a dark one.
