As you’ll see later, you use these shapes to create both upper- and
lowercase letters.
3. Position the stylus in the left-hand sid e of t he Gra f fiti wri tin g ar ea.
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 start i n g p oi n t 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 b egin the str oke
for the next character you wa n t 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 larg e characters. You sh ould
draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area.
■To delete characte rs, simply set the i nsertion 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.
