Graphics tablets consist of a flat surface upon which the user may "draw" an image using an attached stylus, a pen-like drawing apparatus.
Graphics tablets, because of their stylus-based interface and (in some cases) ability to detect pressure, tilt, and other attributes of the stylus and its interaction with the tablet, are widely considered to offer a very natural way to create computer graphics, especially two-dimensional computer graphics.
