Digitizers

PCs and Macs provide powerful and flexible tools for visual artists to render

and share their creative ideas. Given the number of applications dedicated to

producing various visual styles—including painting, sketching, animation,

and more—digital art stands toe-to-toe with its more traditional counterpart.

It’s only reasonable that a category of hardware would appear to help users

take advantage of these tools.

A digitizer (otherwise known as a pen tablet) enables users to paint, ink,

pencil, or otherwise draw on a computer (see Figure 10-33). Now, don’t get

carried away and start taking watercolors to your monitor. The digitizer

receives input using a special surface. When a user presses against the

surface, usually with a stylus, the surface transforms (or digitizes) the analog

movements into digital information. The drawing application receives the

information from the digitizer and turns it into an image onscreen (see Figure

10-34). If you draw a line on the digitizer, for example, that line should

appear onscreen.
