General Guidelines for Graffiti 2 Writing

Follow these guidelines to learn and use Graffiti 2 writing strokes successfully:

•

•

•

•

To achieve 100% accuracy, practice drawing characters exactly as they appear in the tables later in this chapter.

The heavy dot on each shape indicates where to start the stroke. Some characters have similar shapes, but different starting and ending points. Always start the stroke at the heavy dot, but do not draw the heavy dot; (it is there only as a guideline).

The Graffiti 2 writing strokes for letters closely resemble letters of the standard English alphabet, both uppercase and lowercase. Graffiti 2 includes symbols made with a single stroke and symbols made with multiple strokes.

For multi-stroke characters, a temporary character appears after the first stroke, to show that the stroke was recognized. For example, after the first vertical stroke of “t”, a temporary “l” is shown. There is a limited time window, during which you must draw the second stroke. Otherwise the temporary stroke is recorded.

The Input Area is divided into three parts, one for writing uppercase

letters, one for writing lowercase letters, and one for writing numbers. The small marks at the top and bottom of the Input Area define the division lines. To have your console recognize uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers, you must begin the strokes in the corresponding portion of the Input Area.
