FAQ
Q: What does it mean that Linwood Butterfly has a "boundless canvas"?
A: Traditional note-taking tools often confine you to a fixed page size or a literal screen boundary that restricts your thinking. With Butterfly, the workspace is completely infinite, meaning it expands dynamically in any direction as you draw or write. This gives you the freedom to think without borders and scale your projects as large as your imagination demands.
Q: Can I modify or move things after I have already drawn or placed them on the canvas?
A: Yes, you have complete control over every element you create. The application features dynamic editing, which means you never have to worry about making a permanent mistake. You can easily select any element you have placed—whether it is a hand-drawn stroke, a shape, or text—and resize, recolor, or reposition it at any point in your creative process.
Q: What kind of creative tools are built into the application?
A: Butterfly offers a rich selection of expressive tools to bring your concepts to life. You can combine freehand sketching and handwriting with structured geometric shapes, custom typography, and even import real-time photos directly onto your canvas to create a truly rich multimedia experience.
