5. xournalpp

   4 229 12,939 9.3 C++

   Xournal++ is a handwriting notetaking software with PDF annotation support. Written in C++ with GTK3, supporting Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, SUSE), macOS and Windows 10. Supports pen input from devices such as Wacom Tablets.

   

   I also learned about the concept of pressure curves, and that they're really annoying both to implement and to get right: https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/2619, https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/pull/2622, https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/1170

   The two one-liners above to convert pressure to lineWidth are the result of playing around with no idea what I'm doing for a few minutes. They... work, in the sense that I can tolerate them for about 30 seconds :) I keep playing with them because they don't "click". I wouldn't mind suggestions for how to actually do this (my google-fu isn't finding anything, likely because I don't know what to look for). I had a poke around Krita, but only found C++ abstractions.

   I also stumbled on http://willowsystems.github.io/jSignature/#/about/linesmooth..., which is an awesome looking bit of open source code. It implements both realtime curve extrapolation and pressure approximation for devices/environments that don't report that.
