Writing Letters with Graffiti
Any character you can type on a standard keyboard can be entered
with Graffiti. The strokes recognized by Graffiti are designed to
closely resemble those of the regular alphabet. This makes it
quick and easy to learn Graffiti. Most users find they can enter
text quickly and accurately with only minutes of practice.
There are four basic concepts for successful
text entry with Graffiti:
■
If you draw the character shape exactly as shown in the tables
later in this chapter (like the shapes shown in the following
diagram), you will achieve 100% accuracy for entering text.
■
The heavy dot that appears on each shape shows where to
begin the stroke. Certain characters are created with similar
shapes, but have different beginning and end points. Always
begin the stroke at the heavy dot.
■
Most characters can be created with a single stroke. When
you lift the stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your PalmPilot
recognizes and displays the text character immediately.
■
The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: one for
writing the letters of the alphabet, and one for writing
numbers. The small marks at the top and bottom of the
Graffiti writing area indicate the two areas, as shown in the
following diagram.
