Patent ID: 7697002

Claim:
A system for varying hand-drawn line width for display, the system comprising: a processor for receiving a plurality of strokes and processing the plurality of strokes for display; a display device for displaying hand-drawn lines, the display device coupled to the processor; and a stroke control module, coupled to the processor, for partitioning the plurality of strokes into a first group of long strokes and a second group of short strokes, the first group of long strokes having a first characteristic and the second group of short strokes having a second characteristic, the first characteristic being different from the second characteristic, the stroke control module partitioning the second group of short strokes into at least one adjacency group, determining a dominance of the at least one adjacency group, and assigning a width to the short strokes in the at least one adjacency group as a function of an average length of the short strokes in the at least one adjacency group.
