NoteLab 0.2.1 Beta 1 / 0.2

Using NoteLab is just like writing with a pen on real paper.  However with NoteLab, the pen and paper are electronic, you never run out of ink, and you have all the paper youll ever need.
NoteLab saves your notes in the industry standard SVG (Scalable Vector Graphic) format. Thus  any program that can understand this open, next-generation graphic format can be used to view NoteLab files.
NoteLab can also export your notes or print them to a number of image types including JPEG and PNG.
NoteLab allows the user to select entire words, stretch them, move them, change their color, change their line width, delete them, and bring them back. Simply speaking, NoteLab understands a stroke as a complex shape. It doesnt just look at the page as a collection of ink on a page, but instead as a collection of words in a dynamic environment.

Main features:
- is freely available under the GNU GPL
- runs on Mac OS X, Linux, Windows and Solaris
- saves notes as a SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) images, an open industry standard. As such, any SVG reader, not just NoteLab, can be used to view saved notes.
- can export notes to a rastered or vectored image (the PNG, JPEG, BMP, SVG, SVGZ, and many other formats are supported)
- has a graphical preferences manager used to specify your pen and paper preferences
- has a graphical memory manager that allows you to specify the amount of system memory NoteLab is allowed to use
- smooths strokes in real time as they are written
- supports printing of notes
- uses a abstracted rendering system. That is, if notes are exported to an image or printed, they look exactly as they appear on the screen
- allows any part of the notes to be resized, moved, deleted, and have their line width and color changed at any time. NoteLab sees a page as a collection of strokes that can be manipulated, not as a grid of colored regions, like some paint programs
- uses screen rendering optimizations to allow for responsive note taking
- uses custom designed graphical elements specifically designed for tablet PCs
- supports wide rule, college rule, and graph paper with customizable paper color
- supports command line switches that allow for the customization of NoteLab at startup
- supports zooming of notes such that notes dont become "pixelated" as one zooms in. Curves drawn on the page look smooth at any zoom level
- uses custom icons
- supports cutting, copying, and pasting of strokes

Enhancements
- This version of NoteLab is a beta release of version 0.2.1. It contains support for annotating PDF documents as well as exporting PDF documents. The rendering system has also been greatly improved to allow smooth annotation of PDF documents. In addition, now when exporting the current document to an image, if the current document is too large, each page of the document is exported to its own image.
