Editing Graphics tablet (section)

===Stylus===
Graphics tablets with styli are commonly used for graphic design purposes, such as drawing or outlining where using a mouse or other device doesn't give you the precision needed.

A stylus can sometimes also have buttons, readings for pressure and/or slanting angle.

More expensive styli allow the "nibs" (tips) to be exchanged.
Some come with different types of nibs with different properties.
Nibs may also need to be replaced because of wear.

The most common tablets are a slate with a stylus that connects to a computer, however there have been devices with the graphics tablet built into a LCD.
Some more recent [[touch screen]] tablets such as [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] (some) ''Tablet PCs'' and [[Apple]]'s ''Ipad Pro'' support both styli and fingers, with the two types of implements being sensed and handled separately.
