Versions

sketchometry 2.2 is now available. This version brings a number of new features and improvements. sketchometry is now available in Italian (it). Some other languages have also been updated.

The most important new features

• It is possible to adjust the number of decimal places
  • In the entire board.
  • At the object itself (measurement, text, slider or ruler).
• You can edit the font size of all objects on the board at the same time now.
• There are three ways to draw tangents (T gesture):
  • A “free” tangent to a circle, a function graph or a curve without additional objects.
  • A tangent (to a circle, function graph or curve) through an existing point on the object (slider or intersection point).
  • A tangent to a circle through a point outside the circle.
• There are now also more options for normals and perpendicular segments (L gesture):
  • A “free” normal to a segment/line, a circle, a function graph or a curve without additional objects.
  • A normal (to a segment/line, circle, function graph or curve) through an existing point on the object (slider or intersection point).
  • A normal or perpendicular segment to a segment/line through an existing point outside the segment/line.

Improvements

• It is possible to edit the properties of mirrored function graphs.
• The tangent, normal and mirror gestures are now recognized better.
• More than one board are now also exported as a .sketcho file. This makes importing much easier.
• If only one axis is shown, the 0 is displayed.

There are also some minor bug fixes and improvements.

This version contains a large number of improvements and bug fixes relating to gesture recognition and handling (including midpoint, normal, perpendicular segment, reflection, zoom).

In addition, right angles are no longer named automatically.

Today we release sketchometry 2.1. This version not only contains some bug fixes, but also a few new features. These are:

• The highlighting of objects is now clearer. For example, it is now easier to recognize whether you have passed over a point with your finger or not.
• The toolbar has a new feature: In the “Properties” section, three important settings of the board are linked as shortcuts. This allows you to quickly switch the axes, the grid or step-by-step dragging on and off.
• There is a new gesture for the inscribed circle: Simply draw a circle that touches the three borders of a triangle from the inside.
• Navigating and zooming with two fingers is now possible in many modes (e.g. visibility).
• The drawing of slope triangles has been significantly improved. It can be drawn by sketching one side of the gesture on the object (line, graph,…) or by passing over the glider twice (at the beginning and end of the gesture).
• There is a new language “Slovenian”.

Bug fixes

• Sliders now have new default values.
• Function graphs can be hidden and deleted.
• Sketched curves can be drawn through existing points (but then they no longer can be moved).
• Sliders can be mirrored again.
• …

Unfortunately, the Android and Apple apps are still a little way off due to administrative hurdles. We are hoping for a release at the end of September.

Yay!!! After more than 13 years of development, there is finally a new version.

sketchometry 2.0 comes with many new features.

Of course, the completely revised user interface immediately catches the eye. Unfortunately, the old interface has become increasingly confusing due to the constantly growing range of functions. For this reason, we have reorganized and rearranged the functionalities. You will find all tools (that cannot be used with gestures) in the toolbar at the bottom. By the way: you can also find the gesture overview digitally in the app as an image.

The new interface also offers a gallery with a folder structure and is highly customizable.

There have also been some changes to the range of functions:

• Our gesture recognition is now even better and more reliable.
• We have added several gestures, such as center perpendicular, center parallel, Thales circle, tangents to sectors, …
• In addition, there are new objects such as parallelogram, parallelogram point, angle of fixed size, distance of fixed length, …
• The measuring mode has been split up: on the one hand there is “normal” measuring, on the other hand measuring with operations (sum, difference, …). The dimensions of the objects are also taken into account here!
• Many new properties can be edited by you (objects, grid, coordinate system, …)
• Of course, interactive texts are still possible. Now even with TeX.
• and much more!

Old constructions are automatically converted when opened in the new sketchometry. (Attention: this process cannot be undone!)

The new version will also be available in the app stores within the next few weeks.

Have fun with the new version of sketchometry!

There is now a fixed entry “New construction” in the gallery. In addition, the user can control the transparency of the mode icon in the background.

There are now not only arrows as stroke ends, but also a bar to offer more display options.

A major bug has been fixed that made it very difficult or impossible to open pop-ups in Android. As usual, there are also some other improvements.

In this version, some changes have been made to the user interface: Multitools are now displayed in a separate subpage and no longer with a “Switch” button. In addition, the standard mode is displayed again in the toolbar as soon as the current tool has been deselected.

Polish has been added as a new language.

In addition to a few minor improvements and new icons, the entries in the toolbar have also been reorganized and the popup when closing a new construction has been removed.

In this beta version the languages Turkish and Chinese (simplified) have been added.

Measurements have been extended to sliders. Their value can now be “measured”.

In addition, all modes that expect a point as input now create it when you click on an empty space in the drawing area.

A few other bug fixes and improvements have also been made.
