Abstract
An example system includes a touch-sensitive device to detect a position and a force for an input event and generate input data indicative of the position and the force and a processor coupled to the touch-sensitive device. The processor receives the input data and generates digital ink data having a position based on the input data indicative of the position and having a digital ink characteristic based on the input data indicative of the force when the force for the input event is above a predetermined threshold. The processor also alters the position of a drawing cursor in response to a change in the position of the input event.
Claims20
A system for digital drawing, comprising:
- a touch-sensitive device to detect a position and a force for an input event and generate input data indicative of the position and the force;
- and
- a processor coupled to the touch-sensitive device to:
- receive the input data and generate digital ink data having a position based on the input data indicative of the position and having a digital ink characteristic based on the input data indicative of the force when the force of the input event is above a predetermined threshold;
- and
- alter the position of a drawing cursor in response to a change in the position of the input event.
A method for digital drawing, comprising:
- detecting, by a touch-sensitive device, a position and a force for an input event;
- generating input data indicative of the position and the force;
- generating digital ink data having a position based on the input data indicative of the position and having a digital ink characteristic based on the input data indicative of the force when the force for the input event is above a predetermined threshold;
- and
- altering the position of a drawing cursor in response to a change in the position of the input event.
A non-transitory computer readable storage device containing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- receive input data indicative of a position and a force of an input event detected by a touch-sensitive device;
- generate digital ink data having a position based on the input data indicative of the position and having a digital ink characteristic based on the input data indicative of the force when the force for the input event is above a predetermined threshold;
- and
- alter the position of a drawing cursor in response to a change in the position of the input event.
