Krita/Touch

From KDE Community Wiki

Goal

The goal of Krita Touch is to provide a touch friendly framework for painting applications on touch devices, such as Plasma Active or Android. The application should support drawing sketches to full feature paintings.

The framework should provides a basic set of QML components used for creating the tablet applications (ie colour selector, brush selector, layer box), and using that set of components, it should be possible to create tailored application for a specific use case or for a specific device.

Use cases

The application should be usable for any outdoors painting activity.
