Abstract :
Hand-drawn designs and annotations are a common, human-centric approach frequently used during software design and code inspection. We describe our research experiences of adding support for hand-drawn design and annotation to three integrated development environments (IDEs): a software design tool; a user interface design tool; and a programming tool. The aim of this work is to provide users with more natural interaction techniques seamlessly integrated into their IDEs through the use of hand-drawn diagrams, layouts and code mark-ups
