GRAPHICS EDITING METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING THE SAME
First Claim
1. A graphic editing method for an electronic device having a touch panel and operating in a graphic editing mode, the graphic editing method comprising:
- a) executing a first function to cause the electronic device to display a graphical trace according to an operation performed on the touch panel by a first touch object;
b) detecting at least a touch event occurred on the electronic device after step a) and computing a sensed area associated with the touch event sensed by the touch panel; and
c) comparing the sensed area with a first predefined area threshold and executing a second function under the graphic editing mode upon determining that the sensed area is larger than the first predefined area threshold.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides a graphics editing method, which is adapted to an electronic device having a touch panel and operating in a graphic editing mode. The method includes the following steps. While the electronic device is operating in the graphic editing mode, a first function is executed such that the electronic device displays a graphical trace according to an operation performed on the touch panel by a first touch object. Thereafter, when at least one touch event occurs on the electronic device is detected, the touch panel senses and computes a sensing area associated with the touch event. The electronic device then compares the sensing area and a predefined area threshold. When the electronic device determines that the sensed area is larger than the predefined area threshold, the electronic device executes a second function under the graphic editing mode.
