Abstract

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for supporting directional stamping. In an implementation, an input stroke is received on a canvas in a user interface to an application. The application identifies at least a directional effect with which to render each of a set of discontinuous objects along a continuous path taken by the input stroke on the canvas. The application then renders the set of discontinuous objects on the canvas along the continuous path with at least the directional effect identified for each discontinuous object.
