To write letters of the alphabet with Graffiti strokes:
1. Tap the screen where you want your text to go.
2. Use the table on the next page 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’ll see later, you use these shapes to create both upper- and
lowercase letters.
3. Position the stylus in the left-hand side of the Graffiti writing area.
4. Start your stroke at the heavy dot, and draw the stroke shape as it
appears in the table.
Note:
Don’t try to draw the dot shape itself. The heavy dot is
there to show the starting point of the stroke.
5. Lift the stylus from the screen at the end of the stroke shape.
