Abstract

A handwriting storing and reproducing method which takes small images including a leading edge for writing and stores the small images in a time sequential manner following a movement of a writing device. The method then reads out the stored small images and overlaps a just read out small image to a previously read out small image so as to obatain a partial image when both small images include portions which include partial handwritings coincident to one another. Thereafter, the method overlaps one partial image to another partial image-so as to obtain a larger image when both partial images include portions which include partial handwritings coincident to one another.
