WRITING AND DRAWING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY
The pen responds to your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and brush strokes.
The
tools in Microsoft Windows Vista and Office 2007, as well as the drawing tools in many
graphics applications, respond to the pressure you place on the pen. For example, sliders are used in
some applications to vary line characteristics (width, color, and opacity). These characteristics can be
controlled much better by the pen’s pressure sensitivity – you can vary line width, blend colors, and change
opacity with the pressure you exert upon the pen.
To write, ink, or draw with pressure
sensitivity, move the pen along the
surface of the tablet while applying
various amounts of pressure downward
on the tip of the pen. Press hard for thick
lines or dense color. Press gently for thin
lines or softer color. Note that some
applications require you first select a
pressure-sensitive tool from the
application’s tool palette.
