from http://www.xstroke.org/ :

xstroke is a full-screen gesture recognition program for the X Window System. It captures gestures performed with a pointer device, (such as a mouse, a stylus, or a pen/tablet), recognizes the gestures and performs actions based on the gestures. xstroke has been developed on Linux systems, (i386 and StrongARM), but should be quite portable to any reasonable system with X.

it's the most commonly used handwriting recognition app in linux; a must have for tablet pcs. it used to be in debian unstable, but i think the package maintainer abandoned it and it was orphaned.

i'm having no luck building it from source in Breezy, and an outdated .deb i've found does not work due to a known libxft version problem which it seems was fixed in this version.

i've converted an rpm of xstroke that i found to deb, but it's not running stable at all. i'd love it if someone can build a deb from scratch.

I've made another deb package, which has no dependencies and seems to work fine with Breezy. Attached.

Glad to help. Just noticed this isn't in Dapper so we can consider this deferred; shame on me. I'll put it up on the Universe candidates list (wiki.ubuntu.com/UniverseCandidates).

Hi hoilinux,

I'm not sure there is any development on xstroke anymore. If you want a gesture recognition program I think you might want to check out Tom Jaeger's Easystroke. There's a thread on it in Cafe. He just released a beta of the new version and there are links to ppa's as the new version isn't in Synaptic.

If you want "handwriting" recognition you should check out CellWriter.
