Abstract:

Techniques for smart templates are described. In one or more implementations, digital content is generated as pages of a journal application. Selectable representations associated with various smart templates are displayed via a user interface of the journal application. Responsive to user selection of one of the selectable representations, a smart page is generated by altering the digital content of an identified page and causing the identified page to inherit one or more rules or functionalities associated with the smart template. Subsequently, free-form user input is received to the smart page, and additional digital content corresponding to the free-form user input is generated on the smart page. The free-form user input is then processed by applying the one or more rules or functionalities to the free-form user input to generate page data.

Abstract:

Recognition of freehand input enables gestures and objects to be recognized as tables and actions taken in relation to tables. For example, drawing a rectangle intersected by horizontal and vertical lines will create a table object that functions as a table within a productivity application, but may inherit visual cues from the strokes used to draw it. Users are enabled to move, add to, remove from, reorganize, delete, and perform value-based calculations on and in the table via freeform input.

Abstract:

The intelligent detection and manipulation of objects via freehand input is provided herein to enable users greater and more intuitive control of objects interacted with via freehand inputs. Users are enabled to expose the values of various features of objects and to constrain those features to remain at a given value or convert to a given value and remain there as the user continues to interact with the object via freehand inputs.
