  • Publication number: 20200371676
    Abstract: A method includes displaying a drawing aid in a sketch area on a touch-sensitive display, and receiving one or more drawing inputs. In response to receiving the one or more drawing inputs, the device displays marks based on the drawing inputs that are constrained based on the drawing aid. While displaying the drawing aid in the sketch area, the device detects a touch gesture at a location corresponding to a location of the drawing aid. In response to detecting the touch gesture: if the touch gesture is a pinch gesture, the device ceases to display the drawing aid in the sketch area; and if the touch gesture is a rotational gesture, the device rotates the drawing aid relative to the sketch area in accordance with the movement of at least one contact in the touch gesture while maintaining display of the drawing aid in the sketch area.

  • Patent number: 10795558
    Abstract: A method includes displaying an on-screen ruler in a sketch area in response to a predefined input. The on-screen ruler has a first edge and an interior portion delineated by the first edge. The method further includes, in response to detecting a first touch input directed to the first edge of the on-screen ruler, rendering a line in the sketch area in accordance with the first edge of the on-screen ruler. The method further includes, in response to detecting a second touch input directed to the first edge of the on-screen ruler, adding fill content in a first portion of the sketch area that corresponds to regions touched by the second touch input on the touch-sensitive surface and that is delineated by the first edge of the on-screen ruler, such that the first portion of the sketch area is confined by the first edge or the line.

  • Patent number: 10523663
    Abstract: Various techniques are disclosed for managing and modifying data items. In some embodiments, a first data item can be selected for password protection via establishing an active secured user session according to a set of user credentials. Thereafter, subsequent data items can be selected for password protection using the same set of user credentials while the secured user session remains active. In some embodiments, a gesture input can be received by a touch interface. The input can be detected, and when the input is recognized as a command for creating an extension of a work space associated with a data item, then the extension of the work space is generated. In some embodiments, the gesture input received by the touch interface is recognized as a command for creating a new work space associated with the data item such that a new work space is generated upon recognizing the input.

  • Patent number: 10489033
    Abstract: A method is performed at a device with one or more processors, memory, a touch-sensitive surface, and a display. The method includes receiving a line-drawing input. The method further includes rendering a line in a sketch area in accordance with the line-drawing input. The method further includes, while displaying the sketch area including the line, receiving a fill gesture directed to the line in the sketch area. The method further includes, in response to receiving the fill gesture, adding fill content in a first portion of the sketch area that corresponds to regions touched by the fill-gesture on the touch-sensitive surface and that is delineated and partially enclosed by the line in the sketch area.

  • Patent number: 10254939
    Abstract: A method includes detecting first movement of a first contact on an on-screen ruler in a first direction around a pivot location; in response to the first movement: rotating the ruler by an angular amount according to the first movement; and when the ruler has entered a snap zone associated with a snap angle upon rotation by the first angular amount, rotating the ruler by a first adjusted amount to bring the ruler into alignment with the first snap angle; detecting second movement of the first contact in a second direction and the second movement satisfies unsnapping criteria; and in response to the second movement, rotating the ruler by a second adjusted amount to bring the ruler into alignment with the first contact.
