Flow: Note Taking & Sketchbook

Oh snap, it's a new update for Flow and it's all about making straight lines and perfect shapes. Actually, it's not all about that, there is a bunch of other cool stuff too like a brand new brush tool and updated Tool Designer. Here's what's new: - Snap perfect lines and shapes. Flow can now detect what you've just drawn and turn it into a perfect straight line or shape. After drawing a stroke, simply hold still for a brief moment without lifting up. Flow detects straight lines, curved lines, rectangles (including squares), circles, ellipses, and triangles. Nearly straight lines snap to perfectly straight and let you drag the end point around, snapping to horizontal and vertical as you get close. You can even enable a menu that pops up to add arrows and dots to the ends of your lines. Find the preferences in the Drawing and Gestures settings. - Redesigned ruler. The ruler now comes in two modes: Simple and Technical. The new Simple ruler puts a ruler object on the page that you can drag around, rotate with two fingers, and draw along its edges. Tap the magnet icon to snap rotation to 5 degree increments, or tap the rotation handle to set it perfectly horizontal or vertical. The previous design lives on as Technical mode. - New Flat Brush tool. Similar to the round brush pen, but with a wide flat brush tip that can be rotated and a more pronounced faded edge. - Updated Tool Designer. The Tool Setup screen is now the Tool Designer, with a new interface that lets you choose the size, opacity and color to try out on the scratch pad as you fine tune your preferences. - Better eyedropper. It now does a better job of picking the right color you drag over, with a new setting for grabbing the exact color on the page or the original tool color, and a new one finger press + draw gesture to bring it up. - New stroke width fluctuation model. Strokes now vary in width organically with a more natural feel that stays consistent at any zoom level, adjustable in the Tool Designer. - New stroke fade control. Choose how a tool fades in and out as you draw with it, in the Tool Designer. - New menu for Fun Options. There is a new menu on the main menu just for the fun things. What are the fun things, you ask? Take a look. Got a fun idea to add to Flow? Let us know!
