Abstract

Programming environments do not support ink annotation. Yet, annotation is the most effective way to actively read and review a document. This paper describes a tool, CodeAnnotator, which integrates annotation support inside an Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This tool is designed and developed to support direct annotation of program code with digital ink in the IDE. Programmers will benefit from a more intuitive interaction space to record notes and comments just as they would on paper documents.

CodeGraffiti: communication by sketching for pair programmers
UIST '10: Adjunct proceedings of the 23nd annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technology

In pair programming, two software developers work on their code together in front of a single workstation, one typing, the other commenting. This frequently involves pointing to code on the screen, annotating it verbally, or sketching on paper or a ...

Software engineers routinely use sketches (informal, ad-hoc drawings) to visualize and communicate complex ideas for colleagues or themselves. We hypothesize that sketching could also be used as a novel interaction modality in integrated software ...
