Active area. The writing area of the tablet where your Bamboo pen is detected.
Aspect. The ratio between the vertical and horizontal dimension of the tablet or display.
Click force. The amount of force you must apply to the tip of your pen for a click to occur.
Digital Ink. A broad category that typically describes handwritten content which has been created using
pen-based input on a computer. This handwritten content takes the form of sketches, ink mark-up, or
handwriting. The handwriting can optionally be converted to typewritten text or simply left alone for use in its
original format. Depending on your system and application settings, the handwritten text you make with
digital ink can be converted on-the-fly or at another time.
Double-click distance. The maximum distance (in screen pixels) that the cursor can move between clicks
and still be accepted as a double-click. Increasing the double-click distance makes double-clicking easier,
but may cause a delay in line strokes in some applications.
Eraser-aware application. A software application that has built-in support for the Bamboo eraser.
These applications take advantage of the eraser in different ways, depending on what makes sense for the
application.
ExpressKeys. The customizable control keys located on your pen tablet.
Journal. A Microsoft Windows application that electronically simulates a physical journal pad, but with the
advantages of digital note-taking. For example, you can create quick sketches and jot handwritten notes
that can be converted to text and sent on to colleagues for digital mark-up. Journal includes a variety of pen,
marker, and highlighter tools, plus an eraser that is easily activated by the eraser end of your Bamboo pen.
Additionally, your handwritten content is searchable within Journal.
Mapping. The relationship between your Bamboo pen position on the tablet and the cursor position on the
display screen.
Modifier. Modifier keys include S
for Macintosh. You can customize your Bamboo pen or tablet buttons to simulate a modifier key.
OPTION
Mouse acceleration. A setting that allows you to adjust the screen cursor acceleration when your Bamboo
pen is in mouse mode.
Mouse mode. A method for positioning the screen cursor. When you place the Bamboo pen on the tablet,
you can move the screen cursor with a "pick up and slide" motion similar to using a traditional mouse.
This is known as relative positioning. See also pen mode.
Mouse speed. A setting that allows you to adjust the speed at which your screen cursor moves when your
Bamboo pen is in mouse mode.
Nib. The replaceable pen tip.
