    • Based on [Illustration is a cooperation of pictures and words
    • Now I can draw with a pen.

  • Proposed method of realization 1

    • The “Text Without Borders” button
    • A text input field appears just like a sticky note.
    • Variable-length, fixed-font-size text boxes are being added more and more on new lines.
    • Drag and place in figure afterwards

      • The mechanism of being able to specify font size only in advance is not good. - Edit after the fact
  • Proposed method of realization 2

    • press the button
    • Boxes can be drawn
    • Drawing a box brings focus to the text area, where you type

  • Maybe voice input instead of keyboard would be better.

    • Lack of functionality to delete or edit when strange conversions occur.
  • It might be better if the text is placed on sticky notes around the diagram and pointed out with a leader line.
