As you’ll see later, you use these shapes to create both upper- and
lowercase letters.
3. Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.
4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape as it
appears in the table.
Note: Don’t try to draw the dot shape itself. The heavy dot is
there to show the starting point of the stroke.
5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
That’s all there is to it! When you lift the stylus from the screen, your
Palm III organizer recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the
letter at the insertion point on the screen.
As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke
for the next character you want to write.
Important: You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti
writing area. If you do not make Graffiti strokes in the
Graffiti writing area, your Palm III organizer does not
recognize them as text characters.
Graffiti Tips
When writing with Graffiti, keep these tips in mind:
Accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should
draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.
To delete characters, simply set the insertion point to the right of
the character you want to delete and make the backspace stroke
(a line from right to left) in the Graffiti writing area.
Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate
recognition errors.
Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the
sides of the Graffiti writing area.
