[iOS Sketcher] Unable to draw a long shape

[Eleanor]

Testing version: Panda iOS 0.1 (1650)

What were you doing: Drawing shapes

What feature did you use: Hold to shape on the sketcher

What happened: Made a dot

What did you expect to happen: Make a long square

The shape recognition is erratic compared to PencilKit used by Apple Notes. It does not recognize arrows for example.

It is not that it doesn’t work at all. As you see on the gif, it only doesn’t work with long shapes that goes from one and to the other end of the sketcher for an iPad. Hope this is a bug to be fixed🙏

The PencilKit provides some functionality, but shape detection is not something Apple provided as part of PencilKit, so Bear is adding that in separately. A bug report like this will help them out for sure.

… just found the original quote here:

@matteo

we’re using the framework that Apple provides for drawing, unfortunately some of the feature that you’re experiencing in Apple Notes are not available to third party developers.

Even the geometric figures are something that we had to build ourself as Apple doesn’t provide them.

We’re still working on the editor and the Sketcher is a very important part of it, we want to add support for new things like arrows and we’ll try to do that
