Remember the 3 small plugins? Thanks to your feedback they grew up: new names, new pixel-art icons and lots of new features. Install over the old versions, your settings are kept.

Snap (formerly ShapeSnap): draw it, hold, it snaps

Snap

Draw a circle, rectangle, arrow, coordinate axes, curly brace or square root, hold the pen a moment, and it becomes a perfect shape in your current pen.

  • Hold to snap (350 ms by default), so normal writing is never touched
  • Tiny shapes down to ~1 mm (an "o" stays an "o")
  • Axes at any angle, with ticks; rectangles, arrows and axes straighten within 8° (adjustable)
  • Compact settings, one tap away in the plugins menu
  • Works in notes and PDFs

Palette (formerly Stroke Width): restyle any lasso selection

Palette

Lasso strokes or shapes, tap Palette:

  • Width 0.1 to 3.5 (beyond the pen menu), or "= pen"
  • Colour: white, light gray, dark gray, black
  • Dashed lines (dashed, long dashes, dotted, centre line), following curves
  • Hatching / or \, black or gray, adjustable density
  • Solid fills in 4 grays, even inside hand-drawn shapes (several strokes, erased and joined, with holes); perfect shapes get an exact edge-to-edge fill
  • Works right after moving or resizing a selection
  • In PDFs: fills, hatching and single-shape width/colour (the rest isn't stable there yet)

Swipe (formerly SwipeSwitch)

Same 2- or 3-finger gestures, each with its own action, per orientation.

  • New: your note is saved before switching files, so nothing you just wrote can be lost

Install

Download the .snplg from each release, copy it to MyStyle, then Settings → Apps → Plugins → Add plugin.

Good to know: some edits go through SDK calls that clear the page's undo history (known SDK limitation, reported to Ratta). Tested on a Manta, firmware 3.29 beta. Free and open source (MIT), not affiliated with Ratta. Feedback and ideas very welcome!
