Configuring Gesture Setup

You can change the default gesture input and trigger methods in Motion Preferences.
When gestures are enabled, you can use a modifier key (the Control key) or a button on
the pen to trigger gesturing.

Before you can use gestures, Handwriting Recognition must be enabled in Mac OS X Ink
Preferences. Ink Preferences can be accessed in Motion Gesture Preferences.

Important:

To use gestures, make sure that your Wacom tablet and its current drivers

are correctly installed. For more information, see your tablet’s documentation or website.
