Genee Slate (also known as graphic pad, drawing tablet or digitizing tablet) is an input device through which a person can draw images and graphics on a flat surface in a similar way he can draw on a paper. But unlike paper, whatever a user draws on a graphic tablet doesn’t appear on its surface. Instead the image appears on the attached computer screen.
Just like a pencil is used to draw graphics on a paper, a special pen known as ‘stylus’ is used to draw images on the graphic tablet. The accessories which are commonly used with graphic tablets are: puck, stylus, stylus eraser, tablet mouse, art pen and air brush. The puck is a hand held device which is used to point to an exact location in order to capture its coordinate. Through stylus eraser one can select a layer of an image, erase a layer or use it as a brush.
