32 C H A P T E R 4 Creating basic bjects Straight lines Arcs Text Tables Writing, drawing and erasing digital ink Digital ink is freehand text r bjects that yu create using yur interactive display s pen r pens, r the SMART Ntebk sftware Pens tl. Writing r drawing digital ink enables yu t quickly add cntent t yur SMART Ntebk sftware files, either when creating the files r when presenting the files t students. After yu create digital ink, yu can erase it. Writing r drawing digital ink The easiest way t write r draw digital ink is t use yur interactive display s pen r pens. Yu can als create freehand bjects using the Pens tl. The Pens tl enables yu t write r draw digital ink using the fllwing pen types: Pen type Purpse and example Ntes Standard Calligraphic Write r draw digital ink in a variety f clrs and line styles. Write r draw digital ink, like yu d with the Standard pen type, but with lines f varying thickness. Using the Standard pen type, yu can write r draw digital ink that fades after a few secnds (see Using the Standard pen type t create fading bjects n page 123). The Calligraphic pen type is useful fr teaching students handwriting. The Calligraphic pen type is available nly if yur cmputer is cnnected t a SMART interactive prduct. Crayn Write r draw crayn-like digital ink. The Crayn pen type is intended fr artistic wrk such as painting, clring pictures and s n rather than writing. 26 smarttech.cm/kb/170423

T I P S Dn t rest yur elbw r the palm f yur hand n yur interactive prduct s surface while yu write r draw. If yu write r draw multiple lines, SMART Ntebk sftware autmatically cmbines the lines int a single bject. Fr example, if yu write the letters f a wrd, SMART Ntebk sftware cmbines the individual letters, enabling yu t interact with the whle wrd. If yu want t write wrds n the same line but dn t want them cmbined, leave a large gap between them, use different pens, r briefly put the pen in the pen tray befre writing anther wrd (interactive whitebards nly). If yu want t write diagnally, write in a straight line, and then rtate it (see Rtating bjects n page 63). If yu want t write in small letters, write large letters, and then reduce their size (see Resizing bjects n page 60). Yu can fill areas that yu ve enclsed with digital ink (see Filling digital ink drawings n page 54). Erasing digital ink Yu can erase digital ink frm yur interactive display using the eraser r the erasing gesture. If yu re erasing digital ink frm a.ntebk file page, yu can als erase bjects using the Eraser tl.
