ABSTRACT:
A computer-implemented method and system for erasing and editing an electronic document. A goal for computing devices that support the use of a stylus that can record handwriting strokes and present them in an electronic document is to present electronic ink that behaves similar to real ink from a pen. The nature of the electronic document and the electronic ink makes it difficult to edit the ink as one would with traditional pen and paper. However, an editing module accompanying the computing device can provide a user with functionality that facilitates the editing of electronic ink. Specifically, the editing module cna provide a feedback mechanisms, such as highlighting or shading, that indicates to the user which portions of handwriting strokes are selected for editing. Additionally, the editing module can recognize certain gestures and determine which handwriting strokes to apply the editing gesture to.
