1.6 Drawing and selecting

Since working with the stylus is not as precise as working with a mouse on a desktop machine, the drawing and selection tools works differently.

For example to draw a line first you press the stylus on the touchscreen. Now a small crosshair will appear. You can drag the crosshaird around then release the styles. This way you marked the first point of the line. To mark the second point press the styles again on the screen. You can again drag the ending point. Release the styles when you dragged the endpoint in the proper location.

So in short instead of click'n'drag it's click'n'click. Selection works in the same way.

However since this is a bit slower then the usual method, the pen tool works in the normal way: as soon as you clicked on the screen, it will start drawing.
