Abstract
A method and apparatus for interactively generating a profile for an electronic image creation tool. The apparatus comprises a monitor (30); an operator input device (5, 31) ; a store (22) for storing the profile of an electronic image creation tool; and a processing system (1,2). The processing system is adapted to display an initial form of profile on the monitor (30), the digitizing tablet being operated by an operator so as to position an indicator on the monitor display at a desired position relative to the display profile. The processing system (1,2) is adapted to determine one or both of the distance of the indicator position from a datum position and the direction of the indicator position relative to a datum direction, and to monitor the profile in accordance with a predetermined algorithum dependent on the determined distance and/or determined direction.
