Feature Request: Add Drawing/Doodling Capability to Text Editing App

[zxnb01]

Currently, the app only supports text editing on the canvas. Users need a way to express ideas visually through simple drawings or doodles alongside text content. Without drawing capability, users options are limited.

Describe the solution you'd like:
Add a drawing/doodling capability that allows users to:
-Switch between text editing and drawing modes from the same canvas screen
-Create freehand drawings directly on the canvas
-Have both text elements and drawings visible simultaneously
-Access drawing mode via the existing "+" button menu with two options: "Text" and "Draw"
-Save and load drawings along with text content

i think this will make the app more fun ;)

something like this where text and doodles are in the same screen i think adding a bar on the right for drawing section would be cool that section can have: - size variations of the brush - colors for the brush, etc

@zxnb01 Cool idea, i was also thinking about this.

@zxnb01 just for the feature and ideation, i think it deserves a level 3, keep the code clean and structured.
Best of luck

@zxnb01 Also keep different size of brush strokes as seen in drawing apps.

Hi, so far I haven’t added any brush stroke feature. I initially thought of adding it, but with the CustomPainter class from material.dart, we already get these features.
lmk if the brush stroke is still required.
and im planning to add more colors in the palette

@zxnb01 not exactly , I just want to ask you if we can doodle with different thickness of brushes ?

@zxnb01 The video looks good But there is an issue, it doesn't feel free as its in other drawing apps, do you think you can make it better? or if not do let me know, for now we'll go with this, also remove the background color icon, we already have that in app bar.

yea , ill have to see if we have other libraries for the brush stroke. there is a scribble package
ill try to see if i can make that work

for now i added a color ring and color display to the bar:
