Drawing Display

You can set the drawing display functions, including:

1. Work Area

2. Pen Settings

* Functions may vary depending on the model.

Go to Work area and define the mapping between the device's work area and the screen display area.

You can set the mapping between the display area of the current screen and the device.

If multiple monitors are used in duplicate mode, the work area of the device will be mapped to all monitors. When the pen moves in the work area, the cursor on all monitors will move at the same time.

If multiple monitors are used in extend mode, go to the monitor tabs to select one of the monitors that the work area of the device will be mapped to. XPPen drawing display is selected by default.

There are two available options to set the screen mapping area:

1. Set full screen: After you select it, the device will be mapped to the whole area of the selected monitor.

2. Customize screen area: There are three ways to customize the screen area:

3. Identify: Identify all connected monitors. The numeric identifier will be displayed in the lower left corner of each monitor.

4. Calibration: Hold the stylus in the usual way and click the tip of the stylus instead of the cursor in the center of the red cross on the display to calibrate the offset between the stylus and cursor.

You can set the work area of current device here. The driver enables three ways to set the work area of the device.

1. Full area: The whole work area of the device is available.

2. Customize active area: There are three ways to customize the work area.

3. Proportion: Scale your device's work area and selected display area proportionately. For example: After selecting proportion, if you draw a circle on the device, a circle will appear on the screen, but some part of the work area may not be used. But if you don’t choose the proportion and draw a circle, then the circle may change into an ellipse on the screen.

Connect the device to a 16:9 computer and set it in the copy screen mode. If the cursor is found to be offset, you can select "Screen Ratio" to calibrate.

Rotation:

You can set the device to 0°, 90°, 180° and 270° clockwise for use.

Left-handed mode: Rotate 180°.

Color space: The driver provides four modes: sRGB, Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, and USER. In USER mode, you can customize the color space by adjusting the values of R, G, and B.

This product has preset three color modes: sRGB, Adobe RGB and DCI-P3. And all modes have been completed accurate and strict color gamut limits and calibration. So you can use it directly without the ICC limit again.

If you want to configure ICC manually, you can select User mode in the display setting option under the driver interface, and configure it under native color.

Color temperature: The driver enables five modes, i.e., low blue light, 6500K, 7500K, 9300K, and USER. In the USER mode, color temperature can be customized by adjusting the R, G and B values.

Brightness, Contrast: Slide the corresponding slider to adjust the brightness and contrast.

Low Blue Light: Enable the low blue light mode to prevent eye fatigue and make your eyes more comfortable. When the low blue light mode is turned on, the screen may display a yellowish tint, which is a normal occurrence. The user can choose to enable or disable this mode by switching between low blue light protection and other color temperature settings.

When the stylus is within the Work area, the device will recognize the stylus and add it to the driver. The stylus used should be compatible with the device.
