A graphics tablet (also digitijer,digital drawing tablet,pen tablet,digital art board) is a computer input device that enables a user to hand-draw images, animations and graphics, with a special pen-like stylus, similar to the way a person draws images with a pencil and paper.
Capturing data in this way, by tracing or entering the corners of linear poly-lines or shapes, is called digitizing.
It can also be used to trace an image from a piece of paper which is taped or otherwise secured to the tablet surface.
The image is displayed on the computer monitor, though some graphics tablets now also incorporate an LCD screen for a more realistic or natural experience and usability.
Some tablets are intended as a replacement for the computer mouse as the primary pointing and navigation device for desktop computers.
