Gesture Based Drawing

[john_l]

I've designed a primitive Gesture Based Drawing application. A few bugs need to be fixed, but it allows the user to free hand draw circles, triangles, lines and rectangles. Than re-draws it in a more structured shape. I want to implement a gesture that allows deletion of a shape (that the gesture was performed on). What's the best way to do this?

Never worked with this at all before, but ill throw out an idea or two.

- Since you already know the location of each shape, maybe trace a user's mouse drag while it's down. And while they're moving on a shape, change that shape's color to a more stand-outish color. And if they complete the gesture that shape can be deleted (this would only work with the delete tool chosen).

Not quite sure I understand you requirements but this jumped out in my head.

How about a cross when an object is selected ?
