GLOSSARY
Active area. The drawing area of the tablet where your Bamboo One 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 brush strokes in some graphics applications.
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. Additionally, your handwritten content is searchable within Journal.

on the display screen.
