Sketch
Description
Adds a simple "Paint" like program to the atto editor. Features include simple shape tools, drawing, typing, colors, undo/redo. Utilizes the open source "Literally Canvas" image editor. http://literallycanvas.com/
Installation
Create the lib/editor/atto/plugins/sketch folder and place all files there. Run through standard Moodle update/install process.
IT IS HIGHLY ADVISED TO CHANGE THE DEFAULT IMAGE SETTING OF THIS PLUGIN FROM INLINE BASE64 IMAGES TO STANDARD MOODLE. SEE https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-59997
Use
Set cursor in the editor and click the sketch icon. The editor will open full screen. Use a stylus, finger or mouse to create/edit image. Click "Insert Sketch" to add to editor.
* When used with the Quiz essay question type, please be advised that the essay response format must be set to "HTML-Editor with filepicker" for full functionality.
The overwhelming response was fantastic. There were a number of suggestions, which you may or may not be interested in but I am happy to share them with you as all are really constructive and from those in education. One point, however, I must share is the button in the top left which says "Mini Paint". Users are saying they lose all the work they have done with no warning at all and they can't get it back. We check this and got the same. We suggest an, "Are you sure?" message would solve this, as many keep losing their work by mistake. There are one or to other suggested tweaks from Teacher, Student and Exam boards, contact me if you would like this. Great Plugin, Cheers.
We test and support completely free, it is all to help each other out.
I'd like to use for adding signatures to essays etc, but the image that is inserted is 1280 x 720 and way too large for this use case...
1. As pointed out earlier, go to /admin/settings.php?section=atto_sketch_settings and check the box "If checked the sketch will be saved as a standard image upload instead of a base64 inline image."
2. However, when you do this, the Sketch icon disappears from the toolbar menu. In the quiz setting--> Response Options, set the Response format as “HTML editor with file picker” instead of “HTML editor” and it should work well.
I am on Moodle 3.9 and tested this on Firefox.
@Matthew: Any plans to upgrade the plugin to 3.10?

In this page https://personal-site.org/admin/settings.php?section=editorsettingsatto, I added the line "sketch = sketch".
I can see the plugin's icon in the following boxes of the question editing page: "Question text", "General feedback", "Grader information". It is not visible in "Response template" and more importantly in the preview of the question that will be shown to students.

I tried sketch on the iPad but could not use several functions like the eraser. Is it possible to draw on a background image?
Thanks!
