ABSTRACT:
A method for manipulating an inked object with a pointing device on a pen based computer system includes receiving an ink stroke made with a pointing device, displaying the ink stroke on a screen of the computer system and creating a representative stroke within the computer system from the ink stroke. Upon the receipt of a user-initiated command, the representative stroke is first manipulated and then the ink stroke is manipulated in accordance with the representative stroke. Only the ink stroke is displayed on the screen. Examples of manipulation of the inked object include sizing, distorting, and deleting segments of the inked object. The method of the present invention is preferably practiced as a computer implemented process on a pen-based computer system.
