Abstract
A pen has a marking device operative to mark a visible path onto a surface. The marking device is electronically controllable to change at least one of the attributes of the path. The attributes are constituted by the characteristics of the ink being deposited and can include the amount of ink deposited, the width of the line produced, and the color of the ink deposited. The pen includes a sensing device for sensing images or colors or both and a control device that effects the changing of the attribute based on the sensed images and/or colors. Additionally, the pen may include a user interface provided by one or more potentiometers or control buttons such that the user may modify the attributes.
