I want to know what this painting is made of.

You can use the mouse. I used to have a friend who used the mouse to draw more pictures than he did. But if you have money, it may be much more convenient to buy a drawing board.

basic introduction of drawing board (graphics tablet)

○ what is graphics tablet?

graphics tablet, also called drawing board, is an input device, just like a keyboard and mouse on a computer. Execute the operator's input instructions to the computer.

○ If the computer is not equipped with graphics tablet, it will be very inconvenient in painting creation. Some people describe it as a feeling that a computer is completely operated by a keyboard without a mouse. Sometimes it is difficult to draw a work without graphics tablet.

○ With the development of science and technology, graphics tablet, as an input tool, will become a useful supplement to input tools such as mouse and keyboard, and its application will become more and more popular.

○ graphics tablet is usually composed of a board and a pen, just like a painter's drawing board and brush, except that they are not made of wood but ultra-high precision electronic products.

○ What is the main function of graphics tablet?

○ When there is no graphics tablet, we usually use the mouse to draw pictures, but the mouse is not a brush in a painter's hand after all. It is not very flexible to draw pictures with it. If you try to draw a circle with it or copy a picture, you will miss the feeling of drawing on paper with a pencil.

○ graphics tablet can make you feel like drawing on paper with a pen. Not only that, it can also do many unexpected things.

1. Signature and hand-drawn sketch: You can call out the signature board and insert your autograph or simple hand-drawn picture into the document to make people feel that you wrote it yourself, so as to increase the friendliness of the document.

2. electronic personal letter: it allows you to send your personal letter to your relatives and friends through the network. Let the recipient receive your original letter, not the printed words without feelings, which is the so-called "authentic fax heart".

3. Drawing: When drawing with this product, the handwriting will change in thickness or shade with the strength of your hand (so-called "pressure sensing" function). If you cooperate with appropriate drawing software, such as Painter or PhotoImpact, you can simulate watercolor pens, brush pens, markers and even oil painting pens, making you feel as if you are drawing on paper or other canvases, and the result will often exceed your artistic ability when using real pens and real paper.

4. control the computer: it is convenient to control the computer with a pen. In addition to clicking like a mouse, you can also cooperate with the pen control program to write a W, call out the Word program or write an E, call out the IE program. After simple practice, you will soon find the beauty of pen control. If you accidentally become addicted, you will never want to click with the mouse again.

○ Configuration requirements for installing graphics tablet computers?

○ system host: 8486 or equivalent IBM PC compatible host or laptop

○ operating system: Chinese Windows 98/ME/2/XP/ Vista

○ Memory requirements: more than 128MB

○ Installation space: 256MB hard disk installation space

○ Word annotation program: CPU Pentium 233MHz, memory more than 128MB, Microsoft Word 97, 2, XP, 23, 27

○ What is the difference between the functions of graphics tablet and ordinary mice?

○ graphics tablet adopts active wireless technology, which greatly increases the stability of the product. It consists of a board and a pen (or a mouse). The board itself has customizable buttons, which can meet the needs of almost all special buttons through the cooperation of software. The pen body has customizable buttons, and the pen is equipped with a general AAA battery. The general AAA battery can last for 4-5 hours according to different models, so there is no need to worry about the battery being exhausted and unable to be replaced. In addition, unlike the general mouse, which can only display the relative position, graphics tablet can achieve absolute accurate positioning, so that you can operate the computer more freely and follow your feelings. For example, because the position is absolutely accurate, when you put the pen in the lower left corner of the panel, the cursor on the computer will also move to the lower left corner of the screen. No matter where the cursor is on the screen, once the pen moves to the lower left corner of the panel, the cursor of the computer will move to the same position, so that you can copy and create easily. In addition to the absolute positioning method different from the traditional mouse relative positioning, it can also draw shades, thicknesses ... different lines and other effects according to the weight of your force, and the mouse can't make any changes according to the pressure.

can graphics tablet write?

○ The answer is absolutely yes. After installing the corresponding driver, download the corresponding character recognition software.

○ what is the working principle of graphics tablet?

○ graphics tablet adopts the principle of electromagnetic induction in hardware, and the positioning and movement of the cursor is completely accomplished by electromagnetic induction. During cursor movement, the pen can move without touching graphics tablet, and the sensing height is generally 2.54cm.

○ How to choose a graphics tablet that suits you?

○ Wookiee Company has introduced graphics tablet with different functions and prices for different users. According to the functional differences, it can be roughly divided into the following categories:

1. Drawing and writing series (the price is about RMB 36) is small and lively in appearance. The pressure-sensitive pen has 512-level pressure sensing, which completely replaces the 3D mouse and can complete natural handwriting and painting. The newly revised handwriting recognition software has three engine recognition cores. It is a good helper for middle-aged and elderly people to input Chinese characters, and it is a creative artistic brush stroke. At the same time, it helps primary and secondary school students to complete their own computer painting design works, and even email, QQ chat and MSN chat have become illustrated and personalized.

2. Shadow Painting Series (the price is about RMB 58-78) is suitable for educators and digital art learners in high schools and universities. Its pressure-sensitive pen has a high-sensitivity level of 124.

3. The diffuse shadow series (the price is about RMB 88) is suitable for animation designers and computer drawing enthusiasts. It also has the world's most advanced 124-level sensor, and introduces the latest foreign hardware technology, with high performance and high stability.

4. The Tuying II series (the price is about RMB 148-248) has a large sensing area and is very comfortable to use. It is suitable for professional animation designers, artists, illustrators, professional photographers, digital camera users and students, etc. It provides a variety of professional effects and greatly enhances your creative productivity.

5. LCD writing screen (the price is around RMB 13,8) In the research of modern educational technology, digital handwriting equipment has become the core component of multimedia teaching scheme. A new generation of interactive LCD writing screen equipment developed by Youji integrates Youji's outstanding handwriting digital technology, LCD display technology and multimedia teaching software technology into one high-tech product, so that teachers can completely get rid of the limitations of the blackboard. A large number of traditional blackboard books will be written freely on the blackboard through the pressure-sensitive pen on the LCD writing screen, and various types of educational information resources in the computer and network can be introduced conveniently and flexibly in time, which is flexible in courseware making, editing, organizing, displaying, controlling and saving, and greatly solves many problems in the past courseware, slide lecture notes and traditional blackboard teaching. It is of far-reaching significance to promote the research of modern educational technology and the information construction of multimedia education.

○ What can graphics tablet recognize?

○ By installing the corresponding application software, graphics tablet can recognize Chinese and English simple and complicated text input, digital input, pen-controlled commands, drawing graphics and so on.

○ What is electromagnetic pressure? What does it mean that the induction level is 124?

○ electromagnetic pressure sensing is a new function on the principle of electromagnetic induction. According to WinTab standard, the function is developed, and the handwriting varies in thickness by using the user's force. The so-called 124 level refers to the accuracy of sensing pressure. In layman's terms, it means the number of times that the system can distinguish between the thinnest and lightest pen can write, and the 124 level means that it can reflect 124 different values.

○ For example, graphics tablet's pressure-sensitive series is 124, that is to say, using the pen tip to press down 1 grams of force from touching the handwriting board, 124 series are distinguished in micro electromagnetic changes of about 5mm, and the pen will feed back the information to the computer, thus forming brush strokes with different thicknesses. Graphics tablet can truly reflect the handwriting of input strokes, which is very beneficial to professional CAD/CAM design and art work.

The drawings drawn with a mouse or a pressureless handwriting board have a fixed stroke thickness and look rigid, while the lines drawn with a drawing board are very lively, so the drawing board is an indispensable tool for people who need to feel the hand-drawn lines. Another advantage of the drawing board is its application in image synthesis. In this kind of work, it is often necessary to paste several pictures together by using the fade-in and fade-out effect. With the function of electromagnetic pressure, a smooth fade-in and fade-out effect can be made as long as the weight of writing is properly controlled, without frequently switching the transparency of tools or using filters, which can save a lot of time.

○ This technology has the leading level in the world, and has broad application and development prospects. It is an indispensable basic core technology for electronic signature authentication and password setting of various program interfaces in the future.

○ How to identify the electromagnetic pressure sensitivity level?

○ When the pen moves 1-2cm above the graphics tablet, the cursor will follow, which is the effect of electromagnetic induction; When the pen contacts and moves, with the strength, the strokes have different changes, such as thick, thin, thick and light, which is the effect of pressure sense. We call the performance of the above-mentioned effects as electromagnetic pressure sensing, and the highest level reflecting the change of pressure sensing is 124, which is called 124 electromagnetic pressure sensing. In order to identify the electromagnetic pressure sensitivity of 124 grade, we can not only show it by "manometer" in the pressure test panel, but also see whether the edge of the stroke is delicate and smooth, which is particularly important in professional drawing design.

○ What should I pay attention to when buying graphics tablet?

1. High reading speed and keen sense of pressure

○ Reading speed is also a key factor in painting application. Some products often only mark the pressure level but not the reading speed, which is confusing the uninformed. Many friends have reported that some handwriting board products will have the phenomenon of "broken line" and "broken line" when used, which is generally caused when the reading speed of the pen can't reach the movement speed of the hand, and the reading speed is generally nominal by pps(Point Per Second). Take Huiying II as an example, the reading speed is as high as 2pps, which can basically cope with the drawing speed of all people, and there will be no broken line or broken line. Of course, the reading speed also needs a perfect driver to match, in order to comprehensively reflect the effect.

○ Let's talk about pressure. As the name implies, pressure sensing is an index used to identify the degree of pressure given by the hand to the contact surface during painting. Generally, it is expressed by levels. The more levels, the higher the resolution of pressure, and the more delicate the brushwork can be. Generally speaking, the 512-level pressure sense can meet most of the needs, and the 124-level pressure sense is used in the diffuse shadow, painted shadow and painted shadow II series, which can show more painting details.

2. Software compatibility

○ Since it is mainly used for computer drawing, good software compatibility is a necessary condition. Without the support of software, hardware becomes a decoration. At present, almost all software products that support graphics tablet technology (WinTab standard) support Wookiee graphics tablet, and more and more software are designed to be tested in UFIDA products and technologies.

3. Area

○ Because Tomoji graphics tablet uses absolute coordinate positioning technology, the point area on the screen and the input area of graphics tablet are accurately positioned. Therefore, when the effective input area of graphics tablet is large, on the one hand, there is more room for painting and the movements are more natural; on the other hand, when drawing details, the larger the area of graphics tablet is, the more identification points can be used to control an area per unit area, and the more delicate the brush strokes can be; In addition, it is the sense of touch. In the mode of absolute coordinates, if the area of the digital input device is much different from the screen size, the size actually drawn by the hand will be proportionally different from the size seen on the screen. Over time may affect the feel of painting. Therefore, theoretically, the input area equal to that of the screen should be ideal. For a general 17-inch monitor, the basic input area is about the size of an A4 paper, which happens to be the area of Yingying II PF129. The input area of 12×9 inches means that you have a square painting area with the length and width of A4 paper, and it also brings a higher input area and space to show your imagination. Naturally, this kind of comfortable painting feeling is irreplaceable by a small digital board.

○ Analysis of common graphics tablet terms

Effective use area

○ The drawing area of Yuji graphics tablet. In this area, all the work you perform on graphics tablet can be detected. We often say 8×6, 12×9 ... means that the size of the active area is 8 inches× 6 inches and 12 inches× 9 inches.

soft hotkeys

○ graphics tablet tools and graphics tablet settings that have been customized for specific applications. Wookiee graphics tablet applications allow you to customize multiple tools to have different behaviors in different applications. This application-specific setting will be activated when you click the corresponding application on graphics tablet. (commonly known as soft hotkey)

refill

○ replaceable nib.

sensitivity level

○ according to the user's strength, the handwriting has different sensitivity of thickness. According to the standard, it is generally divided into 256 levels, 512 levels and 124 levels.

○ Can graphics tablet be used with ordinary mouse at the same time?

○ Both the mouse used in general computers and other input devices such as trackballs can be used together with the tablet.

○ Why do you have graphics tablet in different sizes? Is there any difference?

○ regardless of size, their functions and efficiency are the same, the only difference is that they will have different feelings when operating. The active area of Youji graphics tablet panel is displayed as one to one with the computer screen. Therefore, when the panel size is small, the corresponding distance between the movement of the cursor on the computer screen and the movement of the pen is longer, and it needs to be adapted more. On the contrary, if the size of the panel is large, the corresponding distance between the pen and the screen cursor is close, and the operation feels more natural and realistic. This is also the reason why many professional artists and art designers especially like larger panels. If you use a small panel, just move the cursor with your wrist and it will move with you. If it is a large panel, the cursor control is consistent with the movement of the arm, which is more ergonomic.
