WRITING AND DRAWING WITH PRESSURE SENSITIVITY
The pen responds to your hand movements, enabling you to create natural-looking pen and brush strokes within applications that support this feature. The digital ink tools in Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, and Office 2007 or later, as well as the drawing tools in many graphics applications, respond to the pressure you place on the pen. For example, sliders are used in some applications to vary line characteristics such as width, color, and opacity. These characteristics can be controlled much better by the pen’s pressure sensitivity. You can vary line width, blend colors, and change opacity with the pressure you exert upon the pen.
To write, ink, or draw with pressure sensitivity, move the pen along the surface of the tablet while applying various amounts of pressure downward on the tip of the pen.
•Press hard for thick lines or dense color.
•Press gently for thin lines or softer
color.
Note that some applications require you first select a pressure-sensitive tool from the application tool palette.
To adjust the tip feel, see setting the tip and eraser feel, and double-click distance.
