<note style="info"><p>In <em>absolute</em> mode, each point on the tablet maps
to a point on the screen. The top left corner of the screen, for instance,
always corresponds to the same point on the tablet.</p>
<p>In <em>relative</em> mode, if you lift the stylus off the tablet and put it
down in a different position, the pointer on the screen doesn’t move. This is
the way a mouse operates.</p>
