<note style="tip"><p>In <em>absolute</em> mode, each point on the tablet maps
35
to a point on the screen. The top left corner of the screen, for instance,
36
always corresponds to the same point on the tablet.</p>
37
<p>In <em>relative</em> mode, if you lift the pointer off the tablet and put it
38
down in a different position, the cursor on the screen doesn't move. This is
39
the way a mouse operates, allowing you to cover distances on the screen with
40
less hand movement.</p></note>
