Figure 12-11. Left: The entryway to the Windows Ink Workspace is this taskbar panel.

Right: Sketchpad’s coolest feature is a virtual ruler, which you can use as a straightedge. Rotate it
with two fingers on the screen, and then make perfectly straight lines by keeping your stylus, cursor,
or finger pressed against it. There’s even a protractor, hiding in the Ruler toolbar icon.

They include:

Sticky Notes. Same app described on “Sticky Notes”; this is just a

reminder that it’s Ink-enabled, meaning you can jot down words or
drawings with your stylus.

Sketchpad. This is a super-simple app for free-form drawing

(Figure 12-11). Make sketches, capture brainstorms, use it as the
traditional back of a napkin. Its toolbar offers a marker, a pencil,
and a highlighter, each with a drop-down menu of color choices.

There’s an eraser, too.

Screen sketch. The instant you choose this tool, it captures a

screenshot—and opens it with the usual drawing tools (same ones
as in Sketchpad), so you can draw on it or annotate it. The Share
button completes the transaction.
