Getting started

Sign in - Google Accounts. Assuming the reader has no prior familiarity with computer graphics, the authors present basic principles for design, use, and understanding of computer graphics systems. The book also contains the following additional features: discussion of hardware and software components of graphics systems, as well as various applications; exploration of algorithms for creating and manipulating graphics. Updating Google Chrome to the latest version is quick and free. Here is how: Open Chrome on your computer. In the top right corner, select More; Here, choose Update Google Chrome. If you do not see this option, then it means that you are up to date, and have the latest version. Once the update has finished, Relaunch Google Chrome. I am on Google Fi, so this is my main messaging interface on my computer. I love the integration with SMS. However, the extension has not worked for calls in a long time. If I need to make a call from my computer, I need to uninstall the extension, use the hangouts website, then reinstall the extension.

NEW VERSIONS OUT JULY 27-28, 2020!

I have developed two simple programs to make my life easier now that my university has switched to virtual classes. They are available for free below. These programs may be of interest especially to people who are teaching online or are preparing tutorial videos. Note that the programs below can only be used on a PC.

At the bottom of this page, I also included some examples of AutoHotkey codes that show how powerful AutoHotkey can be to automate PowerPoint and make editing slides much faster by creating keyboard shortcuts to simple PowerPoint functions and more complex routines.

To address issues that came up with installing the previous versions of the programs, I now make them available as AutoHotkey scripts (with a .ahk file extension). These scripts can be easily run by double-clicking on the .ahk files. For this to work, you will first need to install the free program AutoHotkey, which is available at the following address (you can just download the current version):

www.autohotkey.com

  • If you are not allowed to install programs on your computer, it's usually still possible to run .ahk scripts by using the portable version of AutoHotkey. See instructions here.

The first time you run a script, a .ini file will be generated. This .ini file contains the customizable settings for the script, and should be kept in the same folder as the .ahk file. The .ahk and .ini files can be moved to any folder on your computer, but make sure it's a folder (such as your 'Desktop' or 'Documents') that has read/write access (for example, the folder 'Program Files' doesn't have read/write access allowed by default).

To quit the programs, right-click on their tray icons.


To uninstall the programs:

Just delete the .ahk file and the accompanying .ini settings file (which will be generated when you run the script). If you have no use for AutoHotkey, you may also want to uninstall it through your normal Windows settings.


1) PowerPoint Inking toolbar (version 2.2) and PowerPoint add-in (version 1.0):

The PowerPoint Inking Toolbar (PC only) is a free program that makes the annotation of slides easier during a PowerPoint slide show. It creates a hovering toolbar that provides quick access to pens of different colors, to the eraser, and to many other functions. PowerPoint has some good annotation capabilities that can be used during a slide show but most annotation functions are several clicks away, which can break the flow of a presentation. The PowerPoint Inking Toolbar can prove to be especially useful during online lectures where a good flow is crucial when annotating slides. Almost every feature of the toolbar can be easily customized, including changing the size of andadding/removing/reordering buttons.

How do you play the game jacks. The toolbar can be launched manually (by double-clicking on the .ahk file) whenever you need it. Alternatively, it can be used with the new PowerPoint add-in: using this add-in, the toolbar can be set to be launched automatically whenever a PowerPoint slide-show starts (and the toolbar will automatically get closed when you quit the slide show). See below for instructions to install the add-in and the updated video for a quick showcase of the add-in.

To use this program, you will first need to install the free AutoHotkey on your computer (www.autohotkey.com).

  • If you are not allowed to install programs on your computer, it's usually still possible to run .ahk scripts by using the portable version of AutoHotkey. See instructions in this pdf file.

Then download the .ahk script below, which you can run by double-clicking on it. The first time you run the script, it will ask you to create a .ini settings file that will contain all the settings for the toolbar. Make sure to keep this .ini file in the same folder as the .ahk script. If the toolbar buttons are too small or too large for your needs, just open the .ini file in a text editor such as Notepad (I prefer the free Notepad++), change the dimensions of the buttons on lines 53-54 of the .ini file, save the .ini file, then relaunch the toolbar.

Download the .ahk script for version 2.2 of the PowerPoint Inking Toolbar from Google Drive (can only be used on a PC):PowerPoint Inking Toolbar 2.2.ahk


Download the .zip file containing the instructions and files to install version 1.0 of the PowerPoint add-in from Google Drive (can only be used on a PC):PowerPoint Inking Toolbar Addin 1.0.zip

Here is an updated demo video of some of the features of the PowerPoint Inking Toolbar. See at the 1:55 mark for the latest features added to versions 2.1 and 2.2, including the new PowerPoint add-in.

https://freebomb.mystrikingly.com/blog/are-there-any-good-free-cad-programs. 2) Cursor Highlighter (version 2.2):

Cursor Highlighter (PC only) is a program that makes the mouse cursor easier to track. There are three modes: the basic function is to create a colored 'halo' around the mouse cursor. It can also be set to instead have a user-defined icon follow the mouse cursor, or to act as a 'cursor focus' where the screen is darkened except for a region around the cursor. The program can be useful to make the mouse cursor more obvious for example during online lectures, or when recording tutorial videos, or when people with vision disabilities need to use a computer.

To use this program, you will first need to install the free AutoHotkey on your computer (www.autohotkey.com).

  • If you are not allowed to install programs on your computer, it's usually still possible to run .ahk scripts by using the portable version of AutoHotkey. See instructions in this pdf file.

Then download the .ahk script below, which you can run by double-clicking on it. The first time you run the script, it will ask you to create a .ini settings file that will contain all the settings for the program. Make sure to keep this .ini file in the same folder as the .ahk script.

Download the .ahk script for version 2.2 of Cursor Highlighter from Google Drive (can only be used on a PC):Cursor Highlighter 2.2.ahk


Here is a great video from Kevin Stratvert highlighting some of the features of the program (see at the 7:55 mark):
