Click in EZWrite 4.1 to set brush type, color, and thickness. Two other special
types are provided: Dual pens and Brush mode.
• 12 color options are available: red, pink, orange, yellow, light green, green, sky blue,
dark blue, purple, white, grey, and black.
• Dual pens allow two users to write or draw with different colors simultaneously.
Teachers can create a more engaging learning experience by using two pens to write
and highlight with two different colors, eliminating the need to change colors in a
traditional classroom scenario.
• With brush mode, different stroke thickness based on different types of tools used to
write or draw on the screen can be displayed. Strokes created with fingers, the IFP
stylus, watercolor brush or even pencil can be detected. This unique feature is
especially ideal for drawing or artistic creation in art classes.
