The work surface of the drawing board is a rubber surface with German foil fixed on top of it. This video shows the properties of the foil and the way it is easily mounted on the TactiPad.
Important: these videos show a previous version of the TactiPad. The appearance of some components has changed in newer versions of the drawing board, yet the functionality is still the same.
This first video tutorial gives a general description of the TactiPad drawing board and shows an overview of the different components that will be shown in the rest of the video tutorials. They will contain more details about the use and dimensions of the drawing board itself, as well as the different drawing tools (ruler, triangle, compasses and protractor).

The GraphGrid is a frame with rubber bands that fits on the TactiPad. It includes four additional tools: hyperbole, parabola, sintang and lens. The configuration of the bands in rows, and/or columns and axes gives it its functionality for X/Y and 3D coordinate systems. For a description of the graph grid frame and on how to modify the configuration of the rubber bands, see the section: GraphGrid frame.
For applications of the GraphGrid frame, see the sections:
03 Games and scores
04 Connecting dots; house, cube and more
05 Simple bar chart
06 Drawing a graph in a coordinate system
07 3D coordinate system
The additional tools are applied without the GraphGrid frame. Drawing the axes with the ruler is sufficient.
