Today we decided to try to imitate a classical laboratory notebook in the prototype user interface. Meaning that the interface is build up of a lot of pages resembling the pages of a paper notebook.
We have worked on implementing basic text-editing on a page. A page simply consists of a range of lines for text and a canvas for (yet to be implemented) free-hand drawing and placement of graphical objects. The text-edit instrument we implemented will let the user place the cursor at any position on any of the lines – meaning that it is easy to write anywhere on a page as it is often the custom to do in a lab book.
