A c# mobile paint module

Introduction

This small module was part of a project for the course Tools and Technologies of User Interfaces at Uhasselt. We built a Todo application that exploited the properties of mobile devices (gps, touch, accelerometer, ...).

Mobile Paint

For this project I was looking for a small paint application that could be used to create notes that could be attached to a specific todo. Since no open source mobile paint application seemed to do the job I wrote a small c# .Net paint module that can be added to any mobile application via drag and drop from the toolbox. It only supports basic free drawing with 6 colors and a variable brush size. Drawing shapes, lines, ... are not implemented but can be easily added if necessary.[1] You can also set a bitmap (like a map, frame,...) as canvas.
