The shape recognizer

+

+ The shape recognizer is also a special + operating mode of the pen and highlighter tools. When it is enabled, + Xournal attempts to recognize geometric shapes as they are drawn, and + if successful will replace the drawn strokes accordingly. The shapes + that can be recognized are: line segments, circles, rectangles, arrows, + triangles and quadrilaterals. Polygonal shapes can be drawn in a single + stroke or in a sequence of consecutive strokes. +

+

+ The recognizer is set to be as unobtrusive as possible, and should not + interfere too much with handwriting. (It differs in this and other ways + from another shape recognizer written for Xournal by Lukasz Kaiser). + As a result, it may only recognize shapes if you draw them carefully and + deliberately. Specific tips for better recognition: (1) for circles, + a closed curve that isn't quite round works better + than a rounder curve that doesn't close; (2) for arrows, it is better + to lift the pen before drawing the tip of the arrow, and make sure + the tip consists of two straight line segments; + (3) for very elongated rectangles, + recognition tends to be better if you lift the pen between consecutive + sides. +
