Abstract

Multiuser graphical chat enables two or more users to communicate user generated graphical data in real time. It is most commonly used in online whiteboards where users can interact simultaneously. In this paper, we introduce xScribble: a generalized scheme for encoding graphical data for real time network communication. The paper discusses how to encode graphical data from various drawing tools into string format flexible enough to be used with any text chat system. The memory efficiency and performance of the xScribble scheme is also analysed.

Keywords: graphical chat string-encoding online whiteboard real-time interaction
