Producing example Graffiti is quick and easy using the Graffiti TrueType font. Roll over picture for a larger image.

However, there are also times when you might need to show some graffiti strokes that aren't included in this font. When this happens, its time to break out your artistic talent, and hand-draw them. Drawing Graffiti is easy, you just have to take your time, and remember to put the large "dot" that shows where to begin the stroke. Figure D shows an example of some hand drawn alternatives to doing a letter "X".

FIGURE D

Some examples of how to draw an "X". The first is taken from the Graffiti font, the other two are hand drawn.

Conclusion
As you can see, obtaining PalmPilot graphics, even when you've got to pull them off of the unit itself, is quite easily accomplished using CoPilot and even using TealPaint. Using the techniques I've just discussed, you should be able to easily put together that presentation or web page concerning the PalmPilot!
