Software to Sketch Interface Designs

چکیده
This paper describes the development and evaluation of an electronic sketch environment for interface design. The tool provides a pen-based interface on an electronic whiteboard for designing Visual Basic forms, it is tightly integrated into the Visual Basic IDE. Our evaluation showed that this type of environment is likely to be of benefit to novice programmers as it provides an enticing shared workspace for small groups and encourages checking and revision.

Effect of fidelity in diagram presentation
The visual fidelity (fidelity) of a design diagram affects perception and design performance. Hand-drawn diagrams are more effective working documents for early design tasks such as user interface designs than the equivalent computer-prepared formal representation. However people prefer more formal representations because they feel that hand-drawn diagrams look unprofessional. Sketch-based desi...
متن کاملFrom Sketch to Blueprint: supporting the creative design process
Imagine a computer-based design environment where you could work from first scribbling to finished design; moving freely between hand-drawn sketch and formal diagram. Designs are best started with pen and a blank canvas because ambiguity and informality are desirable attributes during initial design. However, finished diagrams need to be formal and rule compliant so that no ambiguity remains. E...
متن کاملDrawing with the Flow: A Sketch-Based Interface for Illustrative Visualization of 2D Vector Fields
This paper presents Drawing with the Flow, a sketch-based interface for illustrating 2D vector fields. Drawing with the Flow explores the problem of making scientific visualization tools accessible to artists and illustrators, who have a finely tuned visual design sense, but do not typically have the programming or mathematical background required to work with modern visualization algorithms an...
متن کاملDigital Design Sketch for Product
So far the effort of digitalizing product-styling tools for the early design development stage has mainly focused on using raster-type graphics S/Ws. However, it has become a new obstacle to concurrent engineering because resultants of these S/Ws are no more than images, which can be hardly converted to digital forms required by downstream process. For resolving this problem, this paper suggest...
متن کاملSoftware and Data for Corpus Pattern Analysis
This report describes the tools and resources developed to support Corpus Pattern Analysis (CPA)—a corpus-based method for building patterns dictionaries. The tools are an annotation of concordance in Sketch Engine, a special CPA editor for editing Pattern Dictionary of English Verbs (PDEV), dedicated servlets based on the Dictionary Editing and Browsing platform and a public interface for brow...
