Chapter1Basic operations of your Sony CLIE Handheld11 Using the stylus Dragging Just as you can drag the mouse to select (and drag) text or move objects on your computer, you can also use the stylus to drag an item on the screen of your CLIE handheld. Press the stylus lightly on the item and move it along the screen surface. Examples of dragging: To display data above or below the current viewing area on the screen, use the stylus to drag the slider of any scroll bar. To select multiple characters or items together, use the stylus to drag along the desired characters or items. On full-screen dragging By default, full-screen dragging from the bottom of the writing area to the top of the screen displays the Graffiti ® Help on the screen. You can assign the full-screen dragging to another activity. See page 170 for details. Touch the desired item on the screen with the stylus and move it along the screen surface (drag).

Chapter1Basic operations of your Sony CLIE Handheld13 Entering data into your Sony CLIE Handheld Using Graffiti® writing to enter data This section explains the procedures for creating letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols, as well as teaching you some Graffiti® tips and tricks. What is Graffiti writing? Most people find they can enter text quickly and accurately with only minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes any character you can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti strokes closely resemble the upper case letters of the regular alphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn. There are four basic concepts for success with Graffiti writing: • 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 can achieve 100% accuracy. • The heavy dot on each shape shows where to begin the stroke. Certain characters have similar shapes, but different beginning and end points. Always begin the stroke at the heavy dot (you should not create the heavy dot; it is only there to show you where to begin the stroke). • Most characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your CLIE handheld recognizes and displays the text character immediately. To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke, some Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet equivalents. • 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 separate the two areas. Graffiti writing examples: A, B, C, D, and E Division marks Write letters here Write numbers here
Chapter1Basic operations of your Sony CLIE Handheld14 Entering data in your Sony CLIE Handheld Writing Graffiti letters 1Tap where you want your text to go. Note You need to tap above the Graffiti writing area, and you must see a flashing cursor before you write the text. 2Use the tables on the following pages to find the stroke shape for the letter you want to create. For example, the stroke shown below creates the letter n. Note There are two different stroke shapes available for some letters. For these letters, choose the one that's easiest for you. As you will see later, you use the same shape to create both the upper case and lower case version of a letter. 3Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area. 4Start your stroke at the heavy dot and draw the stroke shape as it appears in the tables. 5Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape. That is all there is to it. When you lift the stylus from the screen, your CLIE handheld recognizes your stroke immediately and prints the letter at the insertion point on the screen. As soon as you lift the stylus from the screen, you can begin the stroke for the next character you want to write.

Chapter1Basic operations of your Sony CLIE Handheld15 Entering data in your Sony CLIE Handheld Note You must begin the character strokes in the Graffiti writing area. If you do not make Graffiti strokes in the Graffiti writing area, your CLIE handheld does not recognize them as text characters. Tips • Accuracy improves when you write large characters. You should draw strokes that nearly fill the Graffiti writing area. • To delete characters, simply set the insertion point to the right of the character you want to delete and make the backspace stroke (a line from right to left) in the Graffiti writing area. • Write at natural speed. Writing too slowly can generate recognition errors. • Do not write on a slant. Vertical strokes should be parallel to the sides of the Graffiti writing area. • Press firmly. To display the Graffiti onscreen help Drag the stylus from the bottom of the writing area to the top of the screen. Graffiti Help opens a series of screens that show the complete Graffiti character set.
