Chapter 2 Entering Data 2.1 Entering Data: Entering Data Using Graffiti® 2 Entering Data Using Graffiti® 2 Handwriting Software You can use Graffiti 2 strokes to enter letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols. The Graffiti 2 writing strokes include all letters, numbers, and symbols found on a standard keyboard. Learning to Write Graffiti 2 Characters With only a few minutes of practice, you will find it easy to enter accurate text and numbers using Graffiti 2 writing strokes. The Graffiti 2 demo shows how to use the handwriting software. The first time you turn on your handheld or perform a hard reset, the Welcome application automatically guides you through the setup process. When you complete setup, the iQue 3600a invites you to learn how to use the handwriting software. You should try the demo if Graffiti® 2 is new to you. After you view the Welcome application the first time, a Graffiti 2 Demo icon will appear on the Applications Launcher screen. Tap on this icon to view the demo at any time. TIP: When you reach the Stroke Lookup screen of the demo, use the pick list to view the wide variety of characters that you can make. As you tap a character, you will see an animation of the strokes used to form that character. Chapter 2 Entering Data 2.2 Entering Data: Entering Data Using Graffiti® 2 General Guidelines for Graffiti® 2 Writing Follow these guidelines to learn and use Graffiti 2 writing strokes successfully: · To achieve 100% accuracy, practice drawing characters exactly as they appear in the tables later in this chapter. · The heavy dot in each shape indicates where to start the stroke. Some characters have similar shapes but different starting and ending points. Always start your stroke at the heavy dot. (Do not draw the heavy dot; it is there only as a guideline.) · The Graffiti 2 writing strokes for letters closely resemble letters of the standard English alphabet, both upper and lower case. Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the text input area, your handheld recognizes and displays the text character immediately. For multi-stroke characters, a temporary character is displayed after the first stroke, to show that the stroke was recognized. For example, after the first vertical stroke of "t", a temporary "l" is shown. There is a short time delay, during which you must draw the second stroke. Otherwise, the temporary stroke is recorded. · The text input area is divided into two parts, one for writing lowercase letters and one for writing numbers. The small marks at the top and bottom of the text input area define the division line. To have your handheld recognize letters and numbers, you must begin letter strokes on the left side and number strokes on the right side of the text input area. Uppercase letters are formed by writing across the division line. Write lowercase letters here Write numbers here Tap the arrow to show or hide the text input area Write uppercase letters across the division line · A special feature of the iQue handheld is a collapsible or "soft" Graffiti® 2 input area to maximize the display area. In some applications, you can hide the text input area by tapping on the down arrow in the lower right corner. In some Que applications, the text area is automatically hidden for full screen display. To show the text input area again, tap on the up arrow. Chapter 2 Entering Data 2.3 Entering Data: Entering Data Using Graffiti® 2 To write Graffiti® 2 letters: 1. Tap the screen where you want to write text (for example, on a line next to a time in the Date Book). Blinking cursor NOTE: A blinking cursor must appear on the screen above the Graffiti 2 writing area before you can begin writing text. 2. Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke shape for the letter you want to write. You use the same shape to create both the lowercase letter and the uppercase letter . 3. Position the stylus in the left hand side of the text input area for lowercase letters or across the division line for uppercase letters. 4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the table. For example, the stroke shown below creates the letter n. Lift stylus here Start stroke at heavy dot 5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape. 6. Your handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and displays the letter at the on-screen insertion point. As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you want to write. Graffiti® 2 Tips When using Graffiti 2 writing, keep the following tips in mind: · For greater accuracy, draw letters with large strokes; strokes that nearly fill the text input area are easily interpreted. · To delete characters, set the insertion point to the right of the character you want to delete. Then draw the Backspace stroke (a line from right to left) in the text input area. · Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can produce errors. · Do not write at a slant. Keep vertical strokes parallel to the sides of the text input area. · When letters and numbers can be written using two different strokes, use the one that is easiest for you. · Press firmly. Chapter 2 Entering Data 2.4 Entering Data: Entering Data Using Graffiti® 2 The Graffiti® 2 Alphabet Draw Graffiti 2 letters according to the following alphabet. Writing Capital Letters Graffiti® 2 writing automatically capitalizes the first letter of a new record or sentence. To write additional capital letters, use the same character stroke used for a lowercase letter, but write across the division line. Writing Numbers To write numbers using Graffiti 2 strokes, draw in the right side of the text input area. Draw numbers here Draw numbers using the following strokes. Writing Punctuation Marks and Other Special Characters Using Graffiti 2 writing, you can create any punctuation symbol or special character available on any standard keyboard. The period and comma punctuation marks can be written on either side of the text input area (the letter or number side). Other common punctuation marks can be written on one side or the other of the text input area according to the chart below (in general, more frequently used punctuation is on the left side). Chapter 2 Entering Data 2.5 Entering Data: Entering Data Using Graffiti® 2 Writing Accent Marks When writing letters with accent marks, first write the letter stroke on the left side (or in the center for uppercase letters) of the input area. Then quickly write the accent stroke on the right side of the input area, as shown in the following illustration. Writing Symbols and other Special Characters Use the Shift command to write Symbols and other special characters. To use the Shift command, make a vertical stroke from the bottom to the top in the text input area. A Shift indicator arrow appears in the lower right corner of the screen. While this arrow is visible, you can make the punctuation shift characters shown in the following illustration. Once the arrow goes away, the punctuation mark appears. TIP: Using an additional Shift stroke to finish writing the character (as shown in the demo) is optional but will make the character appear more quickly. Draw punctuation and symbols using the punctuation shift command and the following strokes: Note that when you write punctuation characters with the Shift command, you can write them on either side of the text input area. Even though this requires writing an additional stroke, you may find it more convenient because you do not have to remember which side of the input area to make the stroke. TIP: Samples of the character strokes are available in the Graffiti® 2 Help file. To view the Help file, drag the stylus from the text input area to the top of the screen. Note that the accented characters appear on a Punctuation Shift screen but do not use the Shift command. To write uppercase accented characters, write the letter across the division mark, just as you would an ordinary letter.
