Hi, I just tried to develop a project for “Drawing with finger on canvas”, But I only found the function “when pointer is down on canvas”. I miss “pointer is up” and “pointer moved”. Any suggestions to solve the problem? [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/6c63626192fb08a7700e063e8174e894](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/6c63626192fb08a7700e063e8174e894) ---

Thank you @actech , drawing now really works. [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/e51fe1136a34ab11946bd5a0b75b7ccf](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/e51fe1136a34ab11946bd5a0b75b7ccf) Is there any function to set the pointer’s position? ---

As a pointer, you can use the sprite as in the tortoise chart. Then when you move it, drawing will occur. If you don’t want to display the sprite, you can reduce the sprite size to 0.01 px. In this case, the sprite will be invisible, but you can move it and draw lines. ---
