Basic Operations
To write Graffiti letters
1 Tap the screen where you want your text to go.
Note
You need to tap above the Graffiti writing area, and you must see a flashing cursor
before you write the text.
2 Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke
shape for the letter you want to create. For example, the
stroke shown below creates the letter “n.”
Note
There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these letters,
choose the one that is the most convenient for you.
As you will see later, you use the same shape to create both the
uppercase and lowercase version of a letter.
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 tables.
5 Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
When you lift the stylus from the screen, your CLIE handheld
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.
Note
You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not make
Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your CLIE handheld does not recognize
them as text characters.
