abstract = {CAD and graphics packages running on microcomputers are becoming
increasingly popular for applications such as business charts,
engineering designs, and computer art. Such packages typically
provide a choice of different line styles and widths for creating
drawings and images. Text is usually created using the fonts
provided by the packages. Variations from the pre-defined line
styles and fonts are allowed but are usually defined in an
awkward, pixel by pixel process. Certain drawing and writing
implements, specifically calligraphic pens and brushes, do not
migrate naturally to a raster-display, keyboard-entry,
mouse-dragging environment. This paper describes a user interface
being developed at the University of North Florida Center for
Human-Machine Studies to simulate calligraphic pens and brushes
for use in a low cost environment, namely, a microcomputer
equipped with a mouse device. This is the environment chosen
simply because of its availability and also due to lack of a low
cost (or even a high cost) input device that allows a natural
simulation of painting or drawing with calligraphic pens and
brushes. The interface along with underlying algorithms and data
structures is described. Some example characters and “art work”
are also presented. The objective of the interface is to allow the
production of such characters and “art work” using the concept of
a more natural “brush stroke” rather than a pixel-by-pixel or
manual-outline and painting process.},
