Using Graffiti writing to enter data

This section describes the procedure for creating letters,numbers, punctuations and symbols by Graffiti writing, and

teaches you some Graffiti

tips and tricks.

What is Graffiti writing?Most people find that they can enter text quickly and accuratelywith only minutes of practice. Graffiti writing includes anycharacter you can type on a standard keyboard. The Graffiti

strokes closely resemble the upper case letters of the regularalphabet, which makes Graffiti writing easy to learn.

Entering characters with a single strokeMost characters require only a single stroke. When you lift the

stylus from the Graffiti writing area, your CLI handheldrecognizes and displays the text character immediately.To allow you to write an entire character with a single stroke,some Graffiti strokes are portions of the regular alphabet.

The dot on each shape shows where to begin thestrokeCertain characters have similar shapes, but different beginnings

and end points. Always begin the stroke from the dot.

Note

You do not need to create the dot; it is only there to show you where to

begin the stroke.

(Graffiti writing examplesA, B, C, D, E)

Begin the stroke from dot

Lift the stylus here


33/169



The area for writing characters and numbers aredifferent

The Graffiti writing area is divided into two parts: the left side ofthe Graffiti writing area is for writing the characters and the rightside for writing numbers. The small marks at the top and bottomof the Graffiti writing area separate the two areas.

that nearly fill in the Graffiti writing area. Draw your strokes at natural speed. Drawing too slowly may

generate recognition errors. Do not draw your strokes on a slant. Vertical strokes should be

parallel to the vertical lines of the Graffiti writing area.

Non-ASCII Characters for Log-in ScriptsThe following information enables you to create a custom log-in script thatrequire non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users whounderstand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom log-inscript.

Use of ^charYou may use the caret ( ) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send^char, and the ASCII value of character is between @ and _, then the characteris automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31.

For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return.

If the character is a value between A and Z, then the character sequence istranslated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If the character is any othervalue, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing. Forexample, the string Joe^M transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.

Carriage return and line feedYou may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the log-inscript, when they are entered in the following format.

: Sends or receives a carriage return

: Sends or receives a line feedFor example, the string waitfor Joe waits to receive Joe followed bya carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before executing thenext command in the script.

Literal charactersThe backslash ( \ ) character defines that the next character is transmitted as aliteral character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarilyassociated with that character.

Examples:

\^ : Includes a caret as part of the string

\< : Includes a < as part of the string

\ \ : Includes a backslash as part of the string
