Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed to a touch digital ruler. As such, a particular drawing stroke on a canvas or background can be drawn in alignment with a template irrespective of whether a touch path input by a user aligns with the template. In some implementations, a drawing stroke is aligned with a template edge when the touch digital ruler has been activated despite the location of a user's motion on a touchscreen display.
