4.4.3 Pen
When pressing the Pen button, a palette appears on the screen:
Pointer: Clicking the pointer icon makes the background come back to life, i.e., you can click the Enlarge and Shrink icons as well as go to another opened window. When pressing any other icon on the Pen pad, the background is only a blackboard. It is possible to write with the pen, marker, make figures, and erase. A given blackboard background may also be assigned through the Background icon.
Pen: For writing and/or drawing on the blackboard.
Transparent For drawing and/or writing on the
Marker: blackboard.

Figures: For drawing figures on the computer board. The small triangle on the lower right-hand corner of this icon expands to the following options: line, triangle, rectangle, and ellipses.
Eraser: Erases already-drawn material, the thickness of which can be controlled by the Thickness icon (see below).
Thickness: Controls the thickness of the pen, marker, figures, and eraser (settings of each are different from one another).
Color: Changes the color of the pen, marker, and figures.
Background: When drawing or writing on the screen via the mouse, the background can be set to a blackboard, staff paper, engineering paper, or simply a whiteboard. In addition, when returning to the pointer, up to nine previous screens are saved in the background.
Save: Saves a drawing in a JPG format.
Print: Prints the page.
When using the Pen palette in a multi-monitor format or on a projector, the blackboard function works only where the Pen palette is located. Therefore, when the palette is on the primary monitor, the blackboard function will not work on the secondary monitor; the mouse pointer is simply a mouse pointer, not a pen/marker.
