Polygons can be open or closed, curved or straight, and you can run text along the outline, as shown above - so text can flow on any kind of curve you can imagine. Some of the interesting things you can do with shapes include changing the thickness and color of the outline, and adding a fill color or a fill gradient (like the circle in the illustration). Every shape has drawing options that you can change at any time, as you can see in the format panel on the right in the image above.

Shapes can be be rotated, reflected, and shadowed. Lines can have simple or fancy arrows on either or both sides.

Other shapes include rectangles and ellipses, polygons drawn with curved or straight edges, freehand scribbles, text, and lines. A painting is one kind of shape, which consists of pixels you can edit individually or in swaths. Shapes or pixels? Since the very first digital computer, there have been two basic types of images: vector graphics (you specify how a shape should be drawn but don’t worry about the details), and bitmaps (also called rasters, you tweak any and every pixel). You can use it to create illustrations for reports, newsletters, blogs, or just to amuse your friends. This is a drawing app for day-to-day use by people who don’t have a degree in graphic design.

It’s not intended for professional artists. It doesn’t want to grow up to be Photoshop, Illustrator, or Draw Anything the Next Generation. You really don’t have to pay for very much at all if you don’t want to.Everyday drawing There are hundreds of painting and drawing apps on the App Store.

All the apps that come free with the MacBook are also pretty awesome - I hadn’t realised you get such a plethora of useful utilities, such as Notes, TextEdit, Grab and so on, not to mention the increasingly powerful iWork trio (the online versions of which have just been updated yet again now much better than Google docs IMHO). I haven’t got round to downloading/comparing Outline yet (one of my favourite iPad apps), but probably will once my CRIMPing frenzy really takes hold. Then of course there’s Microsoft OneNote.

Others worth mentioning are Metanota Pro (rather elegant minimal version of Ulysses, I suppose you could call it), and Day One (I use this journal software on iPad, but the Mac version is very nice indeed, especially the little reminder feature, which positively encourages you to diarise your life!).

Notebooks on Mac is actually rather better than it is on PC (faster, for one thing), and Tree is as good as I hoped it would be. Other goodies I’m trying are Ulysses III (nice, very nice, although lack of table support is a little disappointing) and Scrivener, which is positively awesome (not to say overwhelming) on Mac. NoteSuite also has a rather nice little widget-thingy that sits in the Mac menu bar and allows you to make quick notes, todos etc., but Growly Notes has a better search function.īest of all, the very nice and responsive developer says he’s working away on the iPad version, which is very good news. I still have to test that out with foreign-language PDFs, mind you. Although it’s Mac only, it gives OneNote a run for its money - in particular, by offering a very nice ‘Print to Growly Notes’ feature that embeds PDFs in the actual page and then indexes them so the full-text search function can find them. The new version is astonishingly cool and quick, with a great search function. NoteSuite is rather elegant on the Mac, but my unexpected favourite du jour is the amazingly modestly priced Growly Notes, which has been completely rewritten since it was being given away a few years ago.

Some of them will have to wait, because they’re rather expensive (I’m looking at you, OmniOutliner), but others have already been subjected to a bit of serious tyre-bashing. , I’ve been trying out all kinds of interesting note managers. Well, now my lovely MacBook Air has arrived >and therefore the end of my interest for this app. Unfortunately, for me anyway, it’s MAS only and therefore the end of my interest for this app. If Growly Bird comes out with the iPad version mentioned in the App Store release notes, Growly Notes might be a contender in the catch-all notebook category. $4.99 (U.S.) isn’t a bad price for a moderately feature-rich notebook app that has hints of Circus Ponies, Curio, and OneNote.

Growly Notes (for Mac) recently released version 2 on the App Store.
