• More than 10 common shapes can be recognized, including straight lines, parabolas,
triangles, rectangles, parallelograms, circles, ellipses, diamonds, arrows, ve-pointed stars,
pentagons, hearts, and clouds. However, not all shapes can be recognized.
• You need to draw a shape in one stroke. Do not use multiple strokes to form a shape. For
example, draw an enclosed rectangle in one continuous motion and hold the stylus on the
screen for a moment. The gure will automatically straighten out into a standard rectangle.
This feature is only supported in Huawei Notepad and certain apps that support the use
of the stylus.
Make Annotations
The Annotate feature allows you to make annotations anywhere on any screen and save the
annotations together with related content.
Use your stylus to swipe inward from the upper right corner on the screen and select
Annotate.
If you're using a HUAWEI M-Pencil (2nd generation), you can enable the Annotate
feature by double-tapping the body of the stylus.
Before using this feature, go to Settings > Accessibility features > Stylus > Double-tap,
enable Double-tap, and select Open shortcut menu.
You can perform the following using the Annotate feature:
• Make annotations: Use the stylus to make annotations on the screen. Your annotations
will be displayed above content in the app.
• Browse content: When you are making annotations, you can swipe up to continue
browsing content (requires support by the app) and use the stylus to make annotations
anywhere.
• Set the brush: When you use the Annotate feature for the rst time, the ball-point pen will
be used by default. You can touch the stylus toolbar and switch between dierent types of
brushes and adjust the brush width and color.
• Write and edit: When you are making annotations, you can modify an annotation at any
time. Touch the stylus toolbar and select Eraser to erase your handwriting or use Lasso to
select part of the content to copy, paste, delete, resize, and rotate it. You can also cancel or
recover what you have edited.
• Save annotations: After making an annotation, you can touch to save it as an image
or a PDF le.
• Share annotations: After making an annotation, you can touch to share it as an
image or a PDF le.
In addition to the preceding basic functions, the Annotate feature also supports the smart
shape feature for you to draw standard lines and graphics more conveniently. After you draw
a graphic, you can hold down the stylus for between 0.5s and 1s for the graphic to become a
standard shape.
