pointing device which includes a tablet and a stylus, input device which translates an artists pen strokes into computer graphics
A graphics tablet (or digitizing tablet, graphics pad, drawing tablet) is a computer
input device that allows one to hand-draw images and graphics, similar to the way one draws images with a pencil and paper.A Graphics tablet consists of a flat surface upon which the user may "draw" an image using an attached
stylus, a pen-like drawing apparatus. The image generally does not appear on the tablet itself but, rather, is displayed on the computer
monitor.
