 +====== Non-destructive Drawing ======
 +
 +Sparrow's SPRenderTexture allows you to do nondestructive drawing on a bitmapped style canvas.  You can use different images with transparency to create interesting brushes.
 +
 +{{http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/1471/nondestructivedrawing.jpg|}}
 +
 +To do this you will want to create 2x SPImages.  1 with your brush texture and 1 with your canvas.  The canvas will need to use an SPRenderTexture as it's backing.  You will then want to create an a touch handler and an enter frame handler to process the touch events, since render textures can get messed with if you call them directly from touch handlers.
 +
 +Once you have all this in place you will start logging the touches when the user touches.  These logged points can then be parsed in your enter frame handler where you do the actual drawing on the SPRenderTexture.  You may want to create extra points between your new touch and last touch so that you get a nice line if your touches are far apart from each other.
 +
 +One thing that is super handy in Sparrow is the ability to change the color of an image.  There is a tutorial [[tutorials:modifying_the_color_of_an_image|here]].  You can use this to change out the color of your brushes.
 +
 +There is lots of room for experimentation here.  Since the canvas never gets destroyed you can do things like create particles to follow your touches drawing lines everywhere or use extra brushes to create things like drips.
