Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an event acquisition unit that acquires a pen event based on an operation on a screen; a drawing-click determining unit that determines whether the pen event is an event concerning a stroke of a dot image or concerning a click operation; and a countdown timer that starts clocking when the drawing-click determining unit receives a determination-target pen event to determine, wherein the drawing-click determining unit determines that the determination-target pen event is an event concerning a stroke of a dot image when the clocking has ended and the event acquisition unit has acquired a pen event concerning another stroke, or when an elapsed time from an end of a pen event concerning another stroke acquired prior to the determination-target pen event is within a certain period of time.
