2D Mouse
The 2D Mouse is part of the Intuos2 A5 and A6
tablets. It has three buttons, a scroll wheel and an ergonomic shape. It can move in two dimensions over the
tablet. Intuos 3
tablets have a similar mouse.
Absolute ...... but there's no relation b
etween the position of the mouse on your desk and the position of the cursor on the screen. WACOM
tablets operate with absolute positioning: The entire active area of your
tablet represents the entire screen. Place the pen in the lower left-hand corner of your
tablet and the cursor will ...... drawing area of the
tablet where your pens, mice and cursors are d
etected.
For example, if you have an Intuos3 A4
tablet, the active area is A4 size.
For Graphire4 the active area is A6 or A5.
Application-specific s
ettings
WACOM
tools and
tablet s
ettings that have been customised
for individual applications. The control panel of Intuos3
tablets, and the Cintiq 21 UX, enables you to program a
tool to behave uniquely in different applications. Your application-specific s
ettings are in effect whenever you use the application, because the driver d
etects the active application automatically.
Aspect
The aspect defines the ratio b
etween the vertical and horizontal dimension of the
tablet or display. The aspect s
etting defines how the
tablet area is mapped to the display area. This s
etting d
etermines if the aspect of the
tablet and display are the same. It is preferred, in most circumstances, that when a circle is drawn on the
tablet, then it also appears as a circle on the display, and not as an ellipse. With the aspect s
etting you can make sure this is the case. You can use a WACOM
tablet with wide screens and with two screens.
