Welcome to Paper, your minimalist sketching and doodle assistant. This manual covers all the "magic" features built into the app to help you create and edit with ease.
🎨 Drawing & Customization
The Canvas
•
Just Sketch: Use your finger or stylus on the white background.
•
Smart Autocomplete: While drawing, you'll see a faint "Ghost Line" predicting your path. Lift your finger to let the app automatically complete the stroke or close a shape like a circle.
The Control Panel (Bottom-Left)
•
Color Wheel: Drag your finger around the circular wheel to pick any hue in the spectrum.
•
Color Presets: Tap a solid circle for quick access to standard colors (Red, Blue, Green, etc.).
•
Line Thickness: Tap the varying sized dots to change how thick your pen is.
•
Letter Scroller: Vertical alphabet scroller (A-Z &). Scroll to a letter and Hold to stamp it onto the canvas.
•
Hide/Show: Click the X button to hide the tools and get more drawing space. Click the Pencil icon to bring them back.
🖐️ Magic Gestures
Shake to Undo
•
Vertical Shake: Give your phone a quick up and down shake to instantly remove the last line you drew. It’s like magic!
Press to Hold (Move Objects)
•
Lifting: Long-press on any line you've already drawn until it becomes slightly translucent.
•
Reposition: Keep your finger down and drag the object to a new spot on the canvas.
•
Drop: Simply lift your finger to place it.
Triple Tap (Reshape & Bend)
•
Activate: Quickly tap a stroke three times to enter "Reshape Mode."
•
Bending: White handles (dots) will appear on the line. Drag a handle to "bend" the line like a rubber band.
•
Save: Tap anywhere on the empty background to finalize your new shape.
