integrate sketching tool

[Michael]

would it be possible to integrate a freehand painting tool, e.g. the ones from xournal ?
Then zim could be an alternative to Onenote for many people I think.

Ideally I would want a stand-alone freehand painting tool and just use it
from zim as an external tool. No need to built a new tool from scratch in
zim.

Do you have a good "paint" alternative that we could re-use ?

Hi,

my idea is that e.g. a small sketch could be made directly in zim, for
which no external tool would be needed, and would be cumbersome e.g. for
noting little things in meetings etc. Additionally, a vector based tool
would be better for zooming, different resolutions/dpi, painting etc.
xournal would have the advantage to use not only the position, but also
the pressure of the pen - and is also otherwise optimized for tablet
usage.
Perhaps xournal can be used (perhaps with modifications) as an external
library?

Other tools - xpaint (pixel based), diag(vector based, don't know whether
it can do direct pen strokes). Inkscape/libredraw/gimp are too big I
assume.

Michael
