Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for drawing and formatting an image are described. In at least one embodiment, when a user prepares to use an application, or a file, to treat the scanned image of an object, the user only needs to place the object on a scanner and to select the icon of the application, or the file, and compile it with the icon of the scanner. The utilization of several embodiments of the present invention will automatically drive the driver of the scanner and integrate the relative information into the driver. Thus, after the scanned image is acquired, the application is activated to treat the scanned image. Further, the format of the scanned image could be transformed by some applications such as the OCR.
