More Information
Summary:A system for automatically converting hand-drawn shapes into graphical objects is provided. In aspects, a user's intention to convert a hand-drawn shape into a computer-generated graphical may be inferred when the user traces over a previously hand-drawn shape. For instance, after receiving a first ink stroke forming a drawn shape, the system may receive at least a second ink stroke that substantially overlays the first ink stroke. When the system detects that the user substantially traced over the drawn shape, it may be determined that the user intends to beautify the drawn shape. Thereafter, in response to identifying a graphical object corresponding to the drawn shape, the system may replace the drawn shape with the graphical object on a drawing canvas. Accordingly, the user may indicate an intention to automatically beautify a hand-drawn shape without switching to an edit mode or otherwise selecting the hand-drawn shape for editing.
