Questions tagged [graphics-tablet]

Use of a graphics tablet or digitizer, to trace shapes or capture hand-drawn images, as an input device with Ubuntu.

A graphics tablet consists of a flat surface upon which the user may "draw" or trace an image using an attached stylus, a pen-like drawing apparatus.

The image generally does not appear on the tablet itself but, rather, is displayed on the computer monitor. Some tablets, however, come as a functioning secondary computer screen that you can interact with images directly by using the stylus.
