graphics tablet, digitizing tablet
a graphics drawing tablet used for sketching new images or tracing old ones. The user makes contact with the tablet with a pen or puck (mistakenly called a mouse) that is either wireless or connected to the tablet by a wire. For sketching, the user draws with the pen or puck and the screen cursor "draws" a corresponding image.
The puck is generally preferred for tracing highly detailed engineering drawings because the crosshairs, visible through a clear glass lens, let you precisely pinpoint ends and corners. Many tablets allow parts of the tablet surface to be customized into buttons that can be tapped to select menus and functions in the program., lokaatorina kasutatav positsioonide osutamise mehhanismiga lame eripind graafika sisestuseks
