My assignment was to for the program dia - a free, downloaded program for the purpose of creating diagrams. I was rather impressed with its capabilities because it had a lot of flexibility with changing sizes, shapes and positions to tweak your graphics to look just as you would like them to. There were a lot of preloaded shapes to use, plus tools to create your own. I liked that there were many editing options, and it was pretty clear what was what.
I didn't find any freestyle drawing options though, so there were some limitations there.I also had a little problem getting the text to assign the right size to the text I was working with, perhaps with practice.
I could see this program useful to draw out a demonstration for instance:

I created this screen cast to show how the program functions. I had to use subtitles because it appears as though my microphone does not function.
It's seems interesting. Do you not have a mic or did you chose not to talk during your video?
ReplyDeleteoh whoops sorry it appears that I can't read never mind. I now know that your mic was broken, my mistake.
