chuntaro / epaint Goto Github PK

Hi! After some searching I've managed to install epaint after figuring out how straight.el works. I've installed epaint like this: (perhaps useful for others)

;; preload straight.el, top of init file
(defvar bootstrap-version)
(let ((bootstrap-file
       (expand-file-name "straight/repos/straight.el/bootstrap.el" user-emacs-directory))
      (bootstrap-version 5))
  (unless (file-exists-p bootstrap-file)
    (with-current-buffer
        (url-retrieve-synchronously
         "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raxod502/straight.el/develop/install.el"
         'silent 'inhibit-cookies)
      (goto-char (point-max))
      (eval-print-last-sexp)))
  (load bootstrap-file nil 'nomessage))

;; install epaint from github directly
(straight-use-package
 '(el-patch :type git :host github :repo "chuntaro/epaint"))

Now when I call M-x epaint an *EPaint* buffer opens and I can draw! But when I summon the help pages for the epaint function, there is nothing! I'd like to learn how to change colour, line width, etc.

Ultimately, I would love to have some integration with org-mode, where I am typing up notes, hit key key combo to start a new epaint buffer, draw some doodles, then save the file as png(svg/jpg?), which is inserted into the org-mode buffer as a link with image preview turned on. Ideally hitting some key on any image link should open up a new/existing epaint buffer to further tweak the image.

I am trying to use epaint, but I get

Symbol’s value as variable is void: cl-struct-epaint-drawable

I am using emacs 26
