Abstract:
1. A method of recognizing stroke-based data entry comprising: a) accessing spatial stroke data and pressure data captured by a digitizer of a computer system and representing said user-drawn stroke wherein respective pressure data is associated with respective spatial data; b) storing said spatial stroke data and pressure data into a computer memory wherein pressure data of a first range can represents a first object attribute and pressure data of a second range can represents a second object attribute; c) determining a user-selectable object attribute, where said attribute is modulated by said pressure data; d) drawing a representation of said user-drawn stroke on a display screen of said computer system simultaneously with said spatial stroke data being accessed by said digitizer wherein said representation of said user-drawn stroke is drawn with said object attribute as determined at said c); and e) repeating said a) through said d) until said stroke is complete; wherein the object attribute.
