ABSTRACT:
In an electronic device that accepts drawn graphic entries and includes a screen display, a tool for storing and recalling elements displayed on the screen enables a user to draw a simple diagonal line to establish where an element is to be placed onscreen and the definition of the element. The length and slope of the diagonal line determines outer dimensions which are used to define the size of the element displayed. Each element is assigned to a respective line specifier, such as line color. A plurality of zones may be defined on the screen display, each zone having unique specifier assignments for the diagonal lines. A plurality of electronic devices may be connected to a communications network, and elements recalled on one device may be transmitted at the same time to any other device. Elements that are functional objects may be transmitted in this manner, and actualized and operated independently by the recipient devices.
