3-22 Standard Newton Buttons
Figure 3-21 Providing feedback for small, transparent hot spots
Of course, sometimes the whole point of hot spots is to make users guess where
to tap. Secret hot spots would be fine in maps meant to teach geography by
exploration, for example.
In addition to graphical hot spots, there can be hot spots in text. For example,
double-tapping a word pops up a picker for editing the word (see “Correcting
Misrecognized Text” on page 6-29).
