ABSTRACT:
To distinguish between gestures and handwriting, the pen subsystem examines the size of the user's writing. The user may set the gesture versus text size according to his/her handwriting style. In this manner, the user knows exactly how large to make the gestures. If the user declines to customize the setting, the pen subsystem can query other user settings that indicate approximate size of the user's handwriting. A third choice available the system dynamically determine and track the size of handwriting. This would allow multiple users to serially use the computer without having to change settings.
