Abstract

PURPOSE:To input density information in addition to position information, by generating an electric signal corresponding to necessary density by a pressure converting element. CONSTITUTION:Force applied to a transparent plastic rod 3 is converted to an electric signal by a pressure converting element 5, and is inputted to an electronic computer, in which extension is recognized. In this case, a picture on the CRT is known at a real time, therefore, pressure is applied to a light pen, seeing the picture, so that it is locked at a part of desired extension. Also, as for density information, it is locked at the time of necessary density, by pushing a push button 7 fitted to the side of a housing 1 while seeing the picture.
