To write Graffiti numbers
1Tap the screen where you want to write numbers.
NOTE: A blinking cursor must appear onscreen above the Graffiti writing before you can begin writing numbers.
2Refer to the Graffiti number table to find the stroke shape for the number you want to write. For example, the stroke shown below creates the number 3.
Start stroke at heavy dot.
Lift stylus here.
3Position the stylus in the right hand side of the Graffiti writing area.
4Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the tables.
5Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
Your handheld recognises your stroke immediately and displays the number at the insertion point onscreen. As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you want to write.
The Graffiti punctuation marks
You can create any punctuation symbol available from a standard keyboard using
Graffiti writing.
All punctuation marks begin with a single tap on the Graffiti writing area. This tap activates the Punctuation Shift, indicated by a dot displayed above the writing area. The next stroke you make with the stylus creates a punctuation mark. When Punctuation Shift is active, you can write a symbol stroke on either side of the Graffiti writing area (the letter or number side).
