1. A method for the remote display of drawn content, the method comprising:
- creating, at a source device, a drawing window defining a region for the display of drawn content;
providing a copy of the drawing window to at least one viewer device;
observing a location of a system mouse event occurring at a viewer device; and
manipulating the transparency of at least one pixel in the drawing window at the source device at the location of the mouse event when the location of the mouse event is within the copy of the drawing window.

Abstract
Method and system for the remote display of drawn content. In one embodiment, a drawing window is created at a source device, a location of a system mouse event is observed at a viewer device and the transparency of a pixel in the drawing window at the source device at the location of the mouse event is manipulated. The pixel may be cleared, thereby making the location of the mouse event transparent, which may send the mouse event to a non-transparent window immediately below the drawing window.
