Methods and systems provide for automatic adjustment of electronic
highlighter cursor height in response to a determined height of images or
typed or handwritten text to be highlighted. The highlighter thickness or
cursor height of an electronic highlighter, such as an electronic pen or
mousing device, automatically adjusts based on the text or images the
user is highlighting. When the user focuses the electronic highlighter on
text or images to be highlighted, the height of the text or images is
determined, and the height or thickness of the highlighter cursor is
automatically adjusted.
