DrawAnywhere vs Tux Paint
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
DrawAnywhere
DrawAnywhere lets you sketch, annotate, and highlight directly on top of any screen. Great for following along video courses, recording tutorials or hosting presentations. Highlights: Stroke eraser toggleable via stylus buttons Touch passthrough to the app below 50-step undo/redo operations Minimal storage usage Tips: Long press and drag to move the toolbar around. After 3 seconds of inactivity, the toolbar becomes more transparent. Turn on Clear on hiding canvas to let the app clear the canvas when you hide it. Note: Touch passthrough will be turned off automatically as well. Turn off Canvas visible on start to hide the canvas on startup by default.
