1. A data processing system with a pressure-sensitive touch screen arranged over a display monitor, wherein the display monitor provides a graphical representation in response to a pressure registered by the touch screen, wherein the graphical representation includes an attribute that depends on a magnitude of the pressure registered by the touch screen, and wherein the graphical representation is rendered as centered around a first area on the display monitor below a second area on the touch screen at which the pressure is exerted, wherein the attribute does not change until the magnitude of the pressure exceeds a predetermined threshold pressure value, and wherein the attribute changes in proportion to the magnitude of the pressure when the magnitude exceeds the predetermined threshold pressure value.
