Chapter 2 Page 19
There are four basic concepts for success with Graf fiti:
■If you draw the chara cter shape exactly as shown in the tables la ter
in this chapter (like the shapes shown in the following diagram),
you achieve 100% accuracy.
■The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke.
Certain characters have similar shapes, but different beginning
and end points. Always begin the stroke at the heavy dot.
■Most characters require only a single stroke. When yo u li f t the
stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your Palm III organizer
recognizes and displays the text character immediately.
■The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: on e for writing
the letters of the alphabet and one for writing numbers. The small
marks at the top and bottom of the Graffiti writing area indicate
the two areas.
To write letters of the alphabet with Graffiti:
1. Tap the screen where you want your text to go.
2. Use the table on the next page to find the stroke shape for the l etter
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’s easiest for
you.
