Canvas Widget

The Canvas widget gives you a drawing surface right on your dashboard. Powered by Excalidraw, it supports freehand sketching, shapes, lines, text, and more. Use it for quick diagrams, visual brainstorming, or doodling.

#How to Use

#On Desktop

Hover over the canvas to reveal the toolbar, then click to start drawing. The default tool is freehand drawing (pen). Click outside the canvas when you're done.

#On Mobile

Tap the canvas to enter fullscreen mode, where you can draw comfortably on the full screen. Press Escape or tap the close button to exit fullscreen.

#Drawing Tools

The canvas includes a full set of drawing tools from Excalidraw:

• Freehand pen
• Shapes (rectangles, circles, diamonds, arrows)
• Lines and connectors
• Text labels

Your work saves automatically as you draw.

#Toolbar Actions

The toolbar appears in the top-right corner when you hover over the canvas (or always visible in fullscreen):

• Fullscreen - expand the canvas to fill your entire screen for distraction-free drawing
• Export - save your drawing as a PNG image or SVG vector file
• Clear Canvas - erase everything on the canvas (asks for confirmation first)

#Widget Settings

• Show Grid - overlay a grid on the canvas for more precise alignment. Off by default.
• Aspect Ratio - choose the canvas shape: 16:9 (landscape, default), 1:1 (square), or 9:16 (portrait).

#Tips

• Your drawings are saved automatically - you can close the tab and come back later without losing your work.
• Use fullscreen mode for detailed work or when you need more room.
• Export as SVG if you want to edit the drawing later in another tool.
