Figure 16.2 Gesture Recognition with CellWriter
If you click the Keys button in CellWriter, you get a virtual keyboard that can be used
instead of the handwriting recognition.
To hide CellWriter, close the CellWriter window. The application now appears as icon
in your system tray. To show the input window again, click the icon in the system tray.
16.5.2 Using Xstroke
With xstroke, you can use gestures with your pen or other pointing devices as input for
applications on the X Window System. The xstroke alphabet is a unistroke alphabet
that resembles the Graffiti* alphabet. When activated, xstroke sends the input to the
currently focused window.
1 Start xstroke from the main menu or with xstroke from a shell. This adds a
pencil icon to your system tray.
2 Start the application for which you want to create text input with the pen (for
example, a terminal window, a text editor or an OpenOffice.org Writer).
3 To activate the gesture recognition mode, click the pencil icon once.
4 Perform some gestures on the graphics tablet with the pen or another pointing
device. xstroke captures the gestures and transfers them to text that appears in
the application window that has the focus.
5 To switch focus to a different window, click the desired window with the pen
and hold for a moment (or use the keyboard shortcut defined in your desktop's
control center).
6 To deactivate the gesture recognition mode, click the pencil icon again.
