Abstract:
The paper is presented a new method for modeling of handwriting font. To construct the handwriting alphabet we use a pen tablet (digitizer) - a device to input images by hand directly into the computer. Result of the movement of the pen digitizer is a family of variable radius circle centered on a smooth trajectory. For the mathematical description of the trace of the pen is used fat curves (a curve of variable width). The fat curve is a trace of circle with variable radius moving along a smooth trajectory of the finite length called as an axis. A possibility to input handwritten characters in real-time with control of smoothness is present. A prototype of a font editor of fat curves was developed by the authors of this paper. The offered approach can be implemented as the plug-in for font editors of hand-written characters.
