Abstract:
A document processing device, comprising:pointing means for allowing a user to specify a coordinate by applying thereon a tool force;coordinate detection means for detecting a coordinate specified by said pointing means;tool force detection means for detecting a tool force at a time the coordinate is specified;display means; andplotting means for plotting an image in said display means at a position corresponding to a coordinate detected by said coordinate detection means in an operational mode of either a variable mode in which a plotting process is performed according to a tool force detected by said tool force detection means or a fixed mode in which a plotting process is performed according to a predetermined constant tool force, andoperational mode switch means for switching the operational mode of said plotting means between the variable mode and the fixed mode based on a change in at least one of the coordinate detected by said coordinate detection means and the tool force detected by said tool force detection means.
