Abstract
The present invention allows a user to draw a closed periphery around an amount of information on the display of a pen-based computer system. The periphery information is transmitted to the computer system by a digitizing tablet. When received by the computer system, the computer system divides the area enclosed by the periphery into a number of lines. The computer system then processes each of these lines and determines the information to erase on a given line.
