Doodle Command Summary

All doodle commands are available from one of the four menues: Page, Mode, Pen, and Ink. The commands in each menu are described in the table below.

All doodle commands may also be entered by simply writing a command character in the graffiti region. No command prefix is necessary when writing command characters, though one is accepted if written. Thus simply writing N will create a new page, and writing R will remove the current page.

Some doodle commands may also be entered by tapping on the mode display buttons in the title bar. The left button cycles through Paint, Smear, and Erase modes, the next button cycles between Unsmooth, Smooth, and Smoother modes, the next button cycles through the pens, the next button cycles throught the inks, and the right button cycles through the existing pages.

Finally, the Palm scrolling buttons can be used to cycle through doodle pages.
