SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA FOR CHANGING GRAPHICAL OBJECT INPUT TOOLS
First Claim
1. A method for generating graphical object data comprising:
- defining input tool content with a plurality of input tool properties;
initially rendering on a display an input tool that is indicative of at least a first input tool property of the plurality of input tool properties;
receiving a multi-touch input gesture;
changing the first input tool property based on the input gesture; and
re-rendering the input tool on the display after the changing.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for changing graphical object input tools are provided. For example, input tool content may be defined with multiple input tool properties, and then an input tool indicative of at least a first of the input tool properties may be rendered on a display. The first input tool property may be changed based on an input gesture, and the input tool may be re-rendered on the display after the change. The input gesture may be a multi-touch input gesture, the input gesture may be independent of any menu provided on the display, or the input gesture may be indicative of at least one position on the display where the input tool is initially rendered. A graphical object, such as a drawing stroke or a text string, may be rendered on the display using the input tool.

38. A method of generating a graphical object comprising:
-
defining input tool content with a plurality of input tool properties; presenting on a display an input tool indicative of at least a first input tool property of the plurality of input tool properties; moving the input tool along a trail on the display from a first trail position to a second trail position; presenting a first portion of the graphical object on the display by applying the input tool content at the first trail position when the input tool is at the first trail position; presenting a second portion of the graphical object on the display by applying the input tool content at the second trail position when the input tool is at the second trail position; and changing at least a second input tool property of the plurality of input tool properties during the moving between the first trail position and the second trail position. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47)
