Pen Types
myViewBoard provides the following pen options:
Click an image below to see the pen in action:
The Marker draws simple lines and is recommended for most uses. This is the default pen tool selected.
The Paint Brush draws thicker lines resembling paint brush strokes.
The Highlighter draws transparent lines that can be used to highlight text.
The Laser Pen draws lines like the highlighter tool. However, lines are not persistent and disappear whenever the laser pen draws another line. This is useful to temporarily bring attention to a specific piece of the presentation, similar to a laser pointer.
The AI Pen tries to guess the drawing, and displays images based on the guess.
Instead of a solid line, the Shape Pen leaves a line of images for its strokes.
The Magic Line pen acts like a "background" reveal tool.
