Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for determining a positional guideline, such as a baseline or ascender line, of handwritten data. This positional guideline allows for accurate positioning of the data on a computer display. It is calculated by counting the number of pixels per horizontal row in the block of data. These counts of pixels per row are then filtered using a wide moving average. The filtered rows of pixels are then analyzed per row to determine the positional guideline for the given block of handwritten data.
