graphics tool is the light pen. When you hold a
light pen up to the screen, it will draw a line at
that location. Or, for some software programs,
you can indicate a choice from a list of options
that appears on the screen by IlOlding the light
pen up
to
the desired option.
In order
to
use either a graphics tablet or a light
pen, you must use a software program that in-
corporates these capabilities. Be sure
to
ask your
dealer what you will need to allow these periph-
erals to work properly.
There are other peripherals available for the
Atari which have not been covered in this chap-
ter. In addition, new devices are always being
introduced to the market. To learn more about
these, ask your dealer or other Atari hobbyists,
or read about them in the magazines mentioned
in Chapter 6, "Your Computer's Network."
